I'll be honest, I bought this strictly for the deliciously glossy pages full of Love's art, not caring a whit about the story. But it surprised me! It's a journal of a man who can remember his past, so he takes notes on the strange city (cities, I suppose, as one hovers over the other) he finds himself in. My only complaint is that I want more of this world! I'd love to read a novel set in land. I want to know more about the lady warrior he's crushing on. And the swordsmen! And the masks! My favorite line was: "To appease the castle, the queen was forced to marry it. Their son ruled for many happy years." If you're a fan of Love's work, I think this book is worth it for that alone, but the story is not one to be overlooked! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Notes From the Shadowed City is the travelogue of a young man who sets off on a journey to research magical swords. He finds himself stranded in a land he does not know and enters a city with no name over which looms an ominous floating citadel. As he seeks a way home, he fills his notebook with drawings and observations of his life in this strange place. It is full of masked swordsmen, cities that walk, ancient gods, swords made from petrified trees and dragons that move mountains. There's also a mysterious woman who captures his heart. From the imagination of award-winning artist Jeffrey Alan Love comes this illustrated tale of swords and magic, memory and loss, and the overwhelming desire to find a way home no matter the cost. His first book detailing this fantastic journey,Notes From the Shadowed City is told through small moments that create a larger narrative. Love employs his renowned artistry to create a heavily visual narrative boasting more than seventy illustrations, and every spread features his art along with handwritten text--a captivating journal entry that expands into a visual symphony. As you follow in the footsteps of this young man, you'll be intrigued to seek out the Shadowed City. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I was surprised by how much I was pulled into this story; with only the most sparse descriptions of his illustrations I didn't see how this book would actually tell a complete tale. There is a lot of room left for the reader to fill in the blanks of the story as they see fit, but somehow it worked for me. I'm hoping that there will be future stories detailing the narrator's continuing saga. (
