when you're in kinda of a slump and a book makes you not want to put it down, you know it's a good one.

Heartbreaking, yet beautiful.
The art was stunning, but I can't really give 5 stars because some stories bored me or I did not like the way they were written.

bookphile's review
I'm so, so disappointed with this anthology. I got a free copy from Meeks because I helped a bit by hyping up the Kickstarter campaign. It held so much promise.
This book is very beautiful, the art, the design, etc made it incredibly pleasing to leaf through and set on the shelf. But the stories left a lot to be desired...
The most I can describe them as is sub-par. In fact, the first story was so bad, I asked myself 'is this a joke?' While I enjoyed reading them, I can only say that I really liked one of them. Otherwise... most of these read more like high school journal submissions than a professional anthology compilation. But maybe they're just not up to my taste, because I am very picky about writing styles.
Not to mention the fact that I found a grammatical error in the last story, as well as least five typographical errors in formatting. Why the last story, I don't know, but it was the only one I noticed them.
