Story (4/5): This book alternates between Emerson Blackwood’s travels and his “Guide to Dangerous Fairies”. I really enjoyed the parts where we see what Blackwood is exploring and watch as he gets more and more obsessed with the “tooth fairy”. I thought the Guide portions were okay, I already know a lot about faeries and these sections were a bit boring. However, they are a well done summary of fairy lore. This book is not really so much scary as a bit creepy at times.
Characters (3/5): Emerson Blackwood is a very intriguing and well done character who I enjoyed immensely. All of the side characters are relegated to the background and I wish we had gotten to know them a bit better.
Setting (4/5): I enjoyed all the exotic settings and traveling Emerson did. This book is set in Victorian times but Blackwood travels all around the world.
Writing Style/Illustration (3.5/5): I enjoy the writing style and found it easy to read and engaging. The illustration was not as good, it was very “sketched” looking and incomplete..not a style I really enjoyed and I felt like it could have been better.
Summary (4/5): Overall this was an intriguing look into the world of dangerous faeries and was done in a way that feels really realistic. I found the Guide book portions to be a bit slow and boring but really enjoyed Blackwood’s life story. In general the book is nicely put together with a unique format and binding; I did think the illustration could be better though.
I never watched the movie that is supposed to happen later in the timeline of the world this book is set in but I kind of want to now...… (altro)
