"I received an ARC from NetGalley and First Second Books in exchange for my honest review. <br/><br/>I LOVE the illustrations in this. Hicks' style is amazing and totally worth reading for that alone.<br/><br/>Which might be great because the story seemed a bit lackluster to me. Perhaps I had too high of expectations, but there was just something underwhelming about all of this. Perhaps it was the sudden appearance in the final pages of a magical creature that kind of came out of nowhere.<br/><br/>I want a new version that explore the possibility of magical realism more fully."
