My poor Cardan
Published by Book_Lover*17 , 1 year ago
Cardan's backstory with some unfinished plot lines in the regular Folk of the Air is explained in this, as well as some later looks with Jude.
Cardan is so lovable in this.
The artwork is just an added bonus to the stories. It perfectly goes along with everything and shows what we as readers have been imagining for far too long.
Definitely a must buy!
Beautiful and enchanting.
