Reviews / Votes
"A beautifully illustrated fantasy with imaginative creatures that aren't your standard beasts. The characters and kingdom are both tantalizing mysteries readers will want to explore more of. Readers who love books and libraries will want to delve into this story and get lost in its pages." -School Library Journal"The world-building details add a touch of realism to the tale of fantastic books containing myriad magic beasts... A promising entry into what could become a fun franchise. Recommended." -Otaku USA Magazine
