Mar 07, 2018It must be hard to come up with such a broad and interesting world while containing it to one house, even if that happens to be a very large house. With so many different story directions possible, as well as characters to explore, the idea of being able to follow along monthly excites me. If you're a fan of "The Unwritten" or of Fantasy/Magic stories then I think this is a book that you will absolutely enjoy. Its certainly well worth the price for something this beautiful and it comes highly recommended. Read Full Review
