I finished Klaus today and actually liked it pretty much even though Fantasy or Dark genres aren't my cup of tea. The horror artwork was a bit overwhelming for me because it was scary! But it was necessary for the story to work. I liked the twist on the story about "Santa" Klaus.

Now I'm so cold after seeing all the snow, ice and cold that I need hot tea all day! 😉

I gave it a 4 rating.

I'm impressed you liked it enough to give it 4 stars despite it not being your regular/preferred genres!

I also enjoyed this take on the story! I really liked the art and I'm going to have to look up more of Dan Mora's work. The story wasn't mind blowing but I found it fun. More of the type of story where you're not meant to think toooo hard about it haha.

Well no wonder I liked the art... I've read and loved many things already by Dan Mora. Clearly I need to be paying more attention to artist names than I have been!

I liked it too. A bit dark, but what fairy tale isn't?

True, Heidi! Disney has sanitized classic tales so much that it's easy to forget fairy tales were historically pretty dark.

It took me a couple tries to get into this one and actually finish it. I did like the artstyle, it as lovely, but the story itself was upwards of ridiculous and did not seem to have much continuity. It seemed to jump around alot and was hard to follow.
