“......since he well knew thay everyone hurts one another and that the people you loved hurt you the most grievously.”

Reading Cardan's stories is another level of cuteness. I love the illustrations so much.

With beautiful illustrations, this book is a wholesome of entertainment. Cardan in mortal world drinking boba and eating dumplings. WHAT IN THE WORLD!!!! <3

"Surely you've heard of her, Jude Duartem who defeated the redcap Grima Mog, who brought the Court of Teeth to their knees? She's forever getting me out of scrapes. Truly, I don't know what I would do without her."

Cardan's praising his wife.
