Lightfall: Un Lugar entre Mundos (Libro 4): Un cómic de fantasía y aventuras que lo tiene todo

Lightfall #4

by Tim Probert, Diego de los Santos (Translator)

Cad skyller skibbruden i land på Pellidyrs kyst. Han leder efter Lorgon, vandånden, men finder i stedet andre Irpaånder, som ikke ved, om planeten kan reddes. En af dem tilbyder at hjælpe Cad og fører ham til Et sted imellem, et underligt grænseland et sted mellem de levende og døde, hvor Cad skal finde ud af, hvorfor Lorgon har hidkaldt dem til Pellidyr.



På samme tid vågner Bea inden for hovedstadens mure. Pellidyrs anfører har hørt om Beas dumdristighed og tror, at hun er helten med alle svar, selvom hun aldrig har været mere usikker på fremtiden. Men hun ved, at hun ikke kan klare noget uden de andre. Da Bea bliver ført til Et sted imellem, opdager hun noget, der ændrer hendes forståelse af alt det, der kom før hende … og alt det, der snart kommer

Nie wiem, fabularnie to nic tu się nie wydarzyło, szkoda, bo poprzednie tomy były super…

Te komiksy są tak piękne!
Szkoda tylko, że tak szybko się je czyta, a tak długo czeka na kolejny tom :(

Still loving this series but it's been a little while since I read the last volume and I think I might have forgotten what happened in the last one. I also found needing to decipher the other language in this a little bit of a pain. Alas, I still like the series, just preferred the previous volumes.

Ik vond de art in dit boek weer ZO mooi! Echt zo’n whimsical/magische vibe. Wel vond ik dit deel iets minder dan de vorige, omdat er gewoon net iets minder in gebeurde. Ik heb er alsnog erg van genoten en ik denk dat dit boek nodig was als opbouw naar het volgende boek, dus ik verwacht in dat boek meer actie!

Tim Probert’s Lightfall: A Place Between pulls you right back into its magical world with warmth, wonder, and just the right touch of mystery.

In this fourth installment, Bea and Cad continue their journey to restore light to their darkened world, but after a shipwreck, Cad finds himself separated and drawn into a strange realm between life and death.

It was such a joy to return to these characters. Watching Bea and Cad take separate paths gives each of them more space to shine, which adds a refreshing depth to the story. The new side characters, especially the spirits, were a highlight for me. They feel mysterious and beautifully imagined, and I truly hope we get to see more of them in future installments.

One of the things I continue to love about this series is its sense of journey. It takes its time to explore each location, allowing the world to feel expansive and alive. Beneath the adventure, the story also touches on thoughtful themes like hope and what it means to face mortality, which adds a layer of emotional resonance without ever losing its sense of wonder.

The illustrations are absolutely stunning. The detailed landscapes and especially the sweeping two-page spreads are a joy to take in and really elevate the storytelling.

Overall, I had a great time with this book and am already looking forward to what comes next.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher HarperCollins Children’s Books and HarperAlley for providing me with an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

While I adore this story, its characters and the gorgeous illustrations, this did feel like somewhat of a ‘filler’ volume. That said, I can’t wait to see what happens next and continue on with this series.

Według mnie to trochę taki przejściowy tom, ponieważ niewiele się działo, ale to nic, bo i tak spędziłam z nią przyjemnie czas.
A kreska i kolorystyka są tak urzekające jak zawsze 😍

I really love this series, the story, and the art style. I just felt like this was a “middle” or “in-between” book. It was still really good, and there were a couple of quotes that gave me pause. I’m excited to continue in the series to see how our heroes save Irpa.

I continue to adore this series and can’t wait to see where it’ll continue to go! This one felt a little off for me in a few places - probably exacerbated by the sheer amount of translating (fun! but also took me out of the story significantly, and frequently) as well as all the time where Bea and Cad were apart. This definitely felt more like a “middle of the story” volume than previous ones, but I’m still so invested in this arc as a whole and continue to believe it’s just the allegory we need in what is a really dark time in our world.

[Korynne · Rating 4.75 out of 5]

This was another excellent installment in what has become my favorite graphic novel series. I love the art style, I love the characters, I love the plot, and I love the magical and wholesome nature of the story. I highly recommend this series and can’t wait to continue it.

I received a review copy from the publisher via Edelweiss.

"What happens on the other side of that gate does not really make a difference to us, does it? On this side, we'll never know . . . But what you do before you pass through . . . that is what matters."

From the first book in this series, I fell in love with the world of Bea and Cad. Their relationship has grown across the four books in a way which feels very real. They have had their differences, they have worked together and supported each other through the dangers that they have faced. There has been tension at times, and there has been humour. But what you truly do see is that both characters have grown, they have both developed, both individually and as a pair.

In some ways, this fourth book felt a little like a stepping stone to something more. There is a small development within this part of the series, but in some ways it is not a great leap forward. That didn't stop me tearing through this though, and it left me wanting more, so I guess in a way that is still a good thing too.
As ever, the artwork is fantastic. Before beginning this series, it was the artwork which pulled me in, and it doesn't disappoint here. It is detailed, vibrant, with a style which perfectly suits the tale. The illustrations are also great at telling the story, and developing it where words perhaps can't.

This is a great series. If you haven't read it, I would strongly recommend it.

Rien à dire, toujours aussi génial, toujours aussi transporté par l'histoire, les personnages et les dessins. Vraiment le travail des couleurs, je suis tellement fan ! ❤️

What a page turner!! The art is spectacular as always! Wow. What a cool universe. I was reminded that I love how Bea’s anxiety is illustrated. I wish I could read the next one now *sigh*

[Tamara Ducatel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Encore une fois, l’histoire se tient, ce n’est pas rusher les images/dessins et couleurs sont sublimes!! J’adore

To be transparent I have been looking up when the next installment of Lightfall will be for a long time. So when I saw it on NetGalley I audibly gasped.

I love the way Tim Probert writes these graphic novels and this one was no exception. I really enjoyed the alphabet key in the beginning of the book so when that language came up later it was fun deciphering what those characters were saying. I just overall loved continuing the lore, and I love how Tim doesn’t shy away from darker themes in a children’s graphic novel. This series is just exceptional.

3.5/5

Still some of the most beautiful artwork ever. Still love the characters, and this volume did a lot of world building which I appreciate. But honestly not a lot else happened to move us forward in the story, and I don’t think it added enough from the previous book. (I kind of feel we’re in the same kind of place). also separating the two main characters for the majority of the book felt wrong, their dynamic if one of my favourite parts of the series so I wish this volume was longer so we could have had more time with our characters adventuring together. Will still pick up the next volume in a heartbeat so I can see where we go next!

[Bethany Hall · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another truly delightful outing in the Lightfall universe. Though I was bummed Cad and Bea were separated for much of the novel, each of their adventures was so vital to the other one! Once again, the most beautiful illustrations and the way that sadness/loneliness/fear is depicted in these drawings- I’ll never be over it. Cannot recommend these graphic novels highly enough!

[Penny Geard · Rating 4 out of 5]

I need a re-read of this series before more volumes come out so I can actually remember what's going on properly, BUT I still really enjoyed this volume. It felt much shorter than the previous volumes though? I would have liked to have had more happen...

Still beautiful art, adorable characters, a wonderful magical world slowly unfurling.

[ghostly_bookish · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read for the Sunrise on the Readathon July 2026.

This is one of my favourite series, I don't read many graphic novels but this one just speaks to me. The story is gripping, the characters really loveable and the artwork is absolutely stunning.
This was one of my few pre-orders for 2026 as I've cut back because I wasn't reading them soon enough to be worthy of the pre-order.
It'll probably be a 2 year wait for the next in the series but the wait is always worth it.

This is installment 4 in a middle grade graphic novel series. The adventure continues, it's actually a really well written series covering (at an age appropriate level) some more complex topics like anxiety and death. The art is beautiful, I've been reading this series for a few years now, each installment is really special and hopefully this world continues on!

[Sam · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved the alphabet decipher. What a great idea to add into a children's book. I loved being able to figure out what the people of Pellidyr were saying, it was like cracking a code. Also, I really want a happy ending for Cad and Bea 🙏

[Neus Gutiérrez · Rating 3.5 out of 5]

No me esperaba que no fuera el último de la serie.
Me ha gustado, pero es súper profundo. Me alucina que esto se catalogue como infantil cuando la cantidad de capas y reflexiones sobre la muerte, la vida, quienes somos... es muy profundo y complejo.
El dibujo me encanta.
Qué ganas tengo del siguiente.
