Good visualisation of the story Liam told in the show, with nice extra insight to Caleb/Astrid/Eadwulf’s relationship. Didn’t really expand more than that, though.

ilucam's review against another edition

adventurous dark emotional sad medium-paced

How do you like your wizards? Sad, full of angst, and disastrously bisexual? Then this is the graphic novel for you!

left me with a big grin on my face.
