De illustraties waren mooi, maar de rest was echt ‘go girl give us nothing’

Het is waarschijnlijk leuker als je de originele trilogie geweldig vond, maar ik geef tegenwoordig echt niks om die serie, de personages, de wereld of het verhaal dus ja. 🤷🏻‍♀️

 I really enjoyed reading this and was interesting to a bit more insight into how Cardan became the Fairy that he is. The artwork was beautiful and I found it all very enchanting!

This bonus book is apart of my favourite trilogy...no shock that I loved it as much as the other books. The illustrations were beautiful!
