The fast pace [is] instantly immersive, as is Amy Reeder Hadley's finely detailed, complicated art, which is almost schockingly pretty. B+ This features lots of the fairies, magicians and medieval-style witchcraft in a style that evokes at least a little bit the classic Midsummer Night's Dream issue of The Sandman. The book looks lovely and reads well.
