Reviews

[B. · Rating 4 out of 5]

The art in this one compared to book one is amazing. It's fantastic to see the progress. But the story is also so different from where it started. It's fine, it's just not where I would have wanted to go.

Nice illustrations but this story is a freaking bummer.

[Wallace · Rating 3 out of 5]

Despite being grounded in a fantasy plot, the characters in this story the characters deal with common problems with very realistic emotions and solutions. We quickly care about the characters and wish them to succeed.

The art's improved massively since Skeleton Key:Beyond the Threshold, but the characters still bore or annoy me.
