I love seeing an insight into Cardans childhood and motivations. Also him being so down bad for Jude is the best.

CARDAN IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFEEEE. 

this was so cute, and just somehow made my love for cardan even deeper.

all the stories are so interesting and my faves were the last few ones cause Jude and Cardan are the CUTESTTTT.

The artwork is absolutely stunning - my favourite part of the book. I also enjoyed seeing more of Cardan's backstory and understanding his character a little better. However, some stories were filler stories and didn't add much. A nice short read though
