This book has been on-and-off my mind since I this year's Free
Comic Book Day. I passed by their table, my eye was caught by the
illustrations there, and was further struck by the setting.
I finally got around to picking up a copy and I am both impressed
and disappointed. The illustrations were gorgeous - perfectly
suited to the storyline. As for the storyline itself, the beginning
was great, the ending was AWESOME, but I lost interest during the
middle.
Overall, I enjoyed reading this and look forward to the next one,
although given how Volume 1 ended, Volume 2's plot is going to have
to be stunner. How will Jim Munroe compensate for the loss of one
his world's major attention-grabbers?
