pickI almost have up on this pretty quickly. I didn't like the layout or the journal-style writing, but I'm glad I stuck it out. A very imaginative story with gorgeous art. There were a few cheesy/cliche moments, especially in the last stretch, but for a first book, pretty decent.
Bonus factoid: Manchess illustrated the 2011 Mark Twain stamp, which I have sitting on my Twain shelf!
Check out the art in this illustrated icepunk adventure!
This book was on my wish list since I saw it earlier in the year on Tor.com and it is a lovely thing to behold. It‘s a fully-illustrated rip-roaring icepunk adventure with polar bears, snow leopards, airships, and rocket sleds.
Interior shots to follow.
The art in this book is gorgeous! It's worth your time just to flip through it looking at the pictures! Sadly the actual story leaves a lot to be desired. And the text is printed so small you can barely read it. Then again.... There are polar bears which goes a long way to make up for this book's downfalls.
I am so excited about this gorgeous work of art! Also the book looks pretty good too. 😂😂😝 #booksandbrie
