I wanted to love this one more than I did. Tress was such a delight, and this one was very original, but with a different tone. Yumi and the painter find their souls unexpectedly tethered together. As nightmare creatures creep through the city, and they must learn how to fight them. They also need to learn how to depend on others and explore their own passions and freedoms. The book dragged, but I did love the illustrations and the concept.
