Great illustrations but terrible story. Just lacked so much substance, atmosphere and depth. Shame as the illustrations were quite brilliant!

this was stunning. so evocative. i can't say i totally understood the plot but i loved the ride this took me on and the things it made me feel. i audibly gasped at the beauty and grotesqueness of some of the panels.

When I Arrived at the Castle is a swift and potent story with teeth bared and claws out. Bloody and entrancing with mysteries down every dark hall and around every corner.
