So frustrating
Published by AmyB , 3 years ago
I wanted so badly to love this book. As an artist, I love the artwork and I love what they attempted to. However, the actual execution of this concept to tell 2 stories at once, one in art and one on writing, failed. I had no idea what was going on for 3/4 of the book. By the time I pieced together what was happening, I had about 3 pages of written story left and 20 or so of the art story. I wish it had been 2 separate books. The written part of this would be great as a prequel to the actual story of what was going on in the artwork. That's a book I would stand in line for hours for a chance to read. In The Shadows is not.
