A review by destdest
The Saga of Rex by Michel Gagné
3.0
Okay, this was cuter than expected. Also, no quote this time because this book is 98% no text.
STORY:
In The Saga of Rex by Michel Gagné (200 pages)
I hadn't expected there to be such a violent part in the book (a creature was about to be sacrificed, a creature was pierced through the stomach with a bloody knife, and a creature died), but it was okay because nothing stayed too sad for long.
ART:
The art was very beautiful! There's a climatic part when Rex loses a unicorn horn that is just mesmerizing to see. When Rex and his mate become one (nothing vulgar or sexual; kids won't even pick up on the symbolism) was another beautiful part. I loved the color direction in this book as well.
CHARACTERS:
Rex was an absolute cutie and Aven seemed to be a lot of fun.
OVERALL:
To sum this book up, it's message was "travel all you can with the one you love." Or maybe it was really "this book was kind of weird and I didn't understand most of it, but I loved the pictures." Either way, it's worth picking up! I found the ending so sweet.
