The Demon in the Well is an epic tale told in rhyming verse. It's been awhile since I have read anything in this format and I enjoyed the deep immersion into the story and how quickly I was pulled in. The verse made the story move very quickly and kept me wanting to know what happened next. I was surprised by how smoothly the rhymes carried the story. While the characters may not have been as well formed, I still feel like I knew who the characters were. Most of all, I enjoyed the author's inspiration for The Demon of the Well and what his imagination was able to create. Overall, The Demon of the Well is an exciting journey told in a unique way.
