It is, of course, the castle of Far Rockaway.If you enjoy reading good books; swashbuckling adventures with sword fights and pirates - then Far Rockaway is the book for you.

I think Fletcher is a vastly underrated author. His The Oversight (two of the three are currently available) was incredible and based on them, I picked this one up. I was hooked by the description as much as my enjoyment of the previous books – I’m a fanatic for books about books, and especially books about getting lost in books. This was an absolutely incredible adventure for that, and one I cannot recommend highly enough for anyone who loves a truly magical story. The writing was great – fast-paced, great characterization, fantastic and memorable quotes that deliver lessons without being lesson-y. Without spoilers, it’s hard to give much detail, so what I’m going to do instead is tease you with quotes - if these aren’t enough to peak your interest, I don't know what would be...“The bit of her that stood outside herself knew she should be scared and disoriented. What kep her anchored and stopped her ballooning off into the gusts of panic swirling in from the back of her mind was the fact that this forest-that-was-not-the-hospital was not merely any forest; it was just familiar enough to hold on to. But at the same time that in itself was utterly weird, and not because of her inexplicable presence in the middle of it. It was weird because she knew two things at once about it that were definitely true and yet most definitely contradictory: she knew she’d been in these woods before, smelled this smell, seen this green and heard this silence; and she also knew for certain that it was a forest in which she had never, ever set foot.”“If you can’t see the angle, play it straight.
