This book was a nice read, but I’m going to be honest, it jumped around a lot for me and felt rather inconsistent with timings. The overall story of the Seelie and Unseelie courts are great and I love the myth, legends, and history that are in the book (however I believe that they could have touched on the history aspect a little more as that was a key factor). I liked the characters and found this to be an enjoyable middle grade graphic novel. A rare, self-contained story that satisfyingly wraps everything up! Sometimes, no matter how much you like the world and that characters (as a reader or as a creator), you need to know where to stop, and I am so glad Scott knew where to end this. Isabel goes on her journey and matures and learns a little, Benji gets what he wants, and I loved Button, and the designs of all the fairies. I love when aliens/otherworldy creatures are not typically humanoid, and Scott certainly delivered in her variety of design. The colors are lush and gorgeous, and the fight scenes are clear. And when Spine was appointed Unseelie Queen, I expected and was looking forward to a transformation, but I didn't like the one she underwent. Basically, she became more conventionally beautiful: softer features, more flowy hair, less clothes. She was a general before, and it would have been nice to have that reflected in her final appearance. I really appreciated that Isabel and Benji were just normal kids, not some kind of hidden royalty or fairy hybrid. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
