Boring story that was illustrated beautifully.
Physically, this book is absolutely gorgeous. It is a clothbound hardback with gold detailing on the front. The illustrations are really pretty, I like the art style a lot. The colour scheme is very muted and really fitting to the tone of the story.
Now I am not an intellectual by any means. Due to this, any deeper meaning in this book flew right over my head. I found it to be quite slow and boring if I'm honest. This book does not give much backstory to the reader, and the lack of information can be quite jarring. It definitely made it difficult for me to get into the story.
I wish I could have enjoyed this more.
