The Stolen Child is the story of a boy that was kidnapped by changelings and the changeling that replaced him. It is told in chapters alternating between the perspective of the boy that has become one of the changelings, who live stuck in time, and the changeling that replaced him, who has finally returned to society. It was a great story that made the reader think of deeper issues such as identity and truth. The book moved a little slow for me, I found it easy to put down, but overall it is a unique story told in a beautiful way. It is a fantasy novel that I think could be enjoyed by those that do not usually read the genre.
