This is still total perfection after a re-read, but I wanted to specifically comment on the extra content that comes with the volume. It is absolutely worth checking out, even if you've read the individual issues. Even though this only collects four issues, it looks the same length or longer than most of the trade paperbacks on my shelf, because there is so much bonus content.

Absolutely captivating art style and narration. Read it all in one sitting, which is difficult for me even with comics. Highly recommend and I am definitely going to see if my library has the later installments.

I found out about this book through Northern Plunder (a great blogger) and decided it was time to read it. This book tells us about a girl who is the reincarnation/the reborn witch that was burned 18 years ago. We see that she unknowingly has powers, and from there things just get twisty and turny. One night she has to flee. It got really exciting and OMG what is going to happen. I quite liked the story. The ending to this first volume was pretty good, I am quite curious about that lady that we see at the end. Plus, what kind of powers does Emmy have more? We see a few of them, but I wonder what else she can do. I did find it WTF that she took that thing with her. NOPE.
I especially loved the short stories by the author and the very short stories about Harrow Country. Those I think I looked forward to the most. Don't get me wrong, Emmy's life is interesting, but the other things were just more what I liked.
The art was pretty OK.
I will definitely try another volume of this one. Not sure when though. For now I got some other books to read. :)

So, so, so dark. And wonderful. The legacy a witch leaves behind - and how the prodigy wants to forge her own path... Creepy skinless boy, but a great companion to have.
Amazing watercolors - especially with the grave haints (orange, yellow, red).

There were parts that I really loved and parts that were "meh" for me in this 16 issue omnibus. I liked the characters and especially liked Emmy and after the latest story arc I want to continue on to the 2nd Omnibus.
