rated 5/10: readable but only if there's nothing else

The beginning is a bit strange. Too many gaps in the explanation.

A few pages in -- plus a reference somewhere to Pinnochio -- and I have a vague idea.

But I have no interest in reading more.

The characters are interesting but... not interesting enough that I want to follow their adventures. The backstory is vague -- unexplained -- too simplistic to pique my interest. My worry is, if the rest of the book is this silly, it will be terribly boring.

On the other hand... if a villain suddenly appears with an axe -- I will be upset, the characters are harmless, unexciting but sort of nice.

I put the book aside... and have no interest in reading more. I do have other -- known to be good --  books to read.
