3.5 Stars.

And now, it is truly over. And I feel sad - maybe more bittersweet.
How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories is a work looking back to Cardan, and it sheds much light on his character. It is a short, lovely read, and the artwork is truly beautiful.
I wish I could get it in hard copy, but being an international reader is hard.
