There are a whole host of mythologies and faerie tales at play here. My first thought was that this was a dark retelling of Peter Pan, which is not all that far off the mark. This is a twisted gory ode to Peter Pan and Avalon and other faerie stories. If you really think about Peter Pan, even the...
World building is where this novel is at its strongest. It was very atmospheric, and the descriptions of Avalon were beautiful and captivating. I didn't love this novel for a few reasons:- The novel just felt gory for the sake of being gory, and I frequently skimmed through the long action scenes. -...
This inventive story was a fun read and the illustrations are fantastically creepy. The writing, however, is the clearest and most consistent example of “telling” instead of “showing” that I’ve ever read. The artwork was far more evocative.

The writing is pretty okay, but there were may too many story lines (Avalon, Peter, the Captain, Ulfgar ...), and too many stayed unfinished. What was up with Ulfgar? And the Captian? There just was no real plot, somehow.And m...
Krampus. He is an entity children should fear. He has a special place in my heart, especially around Xmas. A kindred spirit of sorts. From the moment I started Krampus: Yule Lord, I knew it would be a memorable book. (It was also my first immersion read.)The story was a great contemporary tale with...
