Well written and everything， I just didn't enjoy it。 I'm not big on Merlin and king Arthur and that kind of thing so it really didn't resonate with me。 Well written and everything， I just didn't enjoy it。 I'm not big on Merlin and king Arthur and that kind of thing so it really didn't resonate with me。 。。。more

Art is gorgeous。 Premise is good， stories that come to life by recreating parts of them。 Some of the story/Dialogue isnt great。 This is the Luther Strode of king Arthur stories。 It gets very action packed。 Lets all just be honest and admit we are here for Mora’s art。 Its great and I want more。

Fun alternative take on Arthurian and other ancient tales。 Beware of falling into stories for they will eat you alive。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Pretty great。 Extremely British。 Very vivid colors， like Matt Wilson turned up to 11。 Gran is by far my favorite character， her voice is so strong。 Duncan is interesting， Rose is a neat addition。 I absolutely love the conceit， that stories can be brought into the world and people here can "inhabit" roles。 It's very Gillen， and somewhat reminiscent of The Unwritten。 I also love the secret， MIB-esque deal that they live in。 The ending was crazy， I have no idea where it's going to go from here。 My Pretty great。 Extremely British。 Very vivid colors， like Matt Wilson turned up to 11。 Gran is by far my favorite character， her voice is so strong。 Duncan is interesting， Rose is a neat addition。 I absolutely love the conceit， that stories can be brought into the world and people here can "inhabit" roles。 It's very Gillen， and somewhat reminiscent of The Unwritten。 I also love the secret， MIB-esque deal that they live in。 The ending was crazy， I have no idea where it's going to go from here。 My favorite scene was the Magpies that I'd previously read about but now had more context for。 Lancelot was a really neat character addition。 Most of the fantastical villain characters are a bit one-note though， but certainly creepy。 They're balanced by Mary and her ilk though。 Yep， lots of bloody good fun。 At times a bit confusing， with some less than clear art occasionally。 But not enough to drag it down。 Loved it。 。。。more

I have to start with the obvious: this book is gorgeous。 The cover， the binding， the art， all of it is absolutely stunning。 As for the story， I didn’t know too much about it other than that it was inspired by Arthurian legend （which is enough of a hook for me）。 But it’s so much more than a retelling - it’s clever， witty， creative and a lot of fun， with a spin on King Arthur that I haven’t seen before。 The characters are great and as it continuous to introduce more legendary elements I fall in lo I have to start with the obvious: this book is gorgeous。 The cover， the binding， the art， all of it is absolutely stunning。 As for the story， I didn’t know too much about it other than that it was inspired by Arthurian legend （which is enough of a hook for me）。 But it’s so much more than a retelling - it’s clever， witty， creative and a lot of fun， with a spin on King Arthur that I haven’t seen before。 The characters are great and as it continuous to introduce more legendary elements I fall in love with it further。 I am a sucker for a story about the power of stories， and this is one of them。 Have I mentioned how gorgeous it is？ I can’t get over it。 。。。more
