The Autumnal: The Complete Series by Daniel Kraus

4.0

The Autumnal is an old fashion fairy tale retelling. It does what it sets out to do. Nothing more yet nothing less. Nicest thing to read on a rainy day.

all 2.5 stars go to the stunning art, which is definitely a 5/5. the plot, however, really went downhill once the mystery was introduced. past the point of being intriguing, it was  not great for me.

Revolves around problem between mother and daughter; Kat with her daughter came to to an eerie town to see her dead mother that abandoned her since she was young. While the art is enticing enough, I found that the story predictable and quite boring.

I was really expecting to love this but it was only okay. I couldn't seem to like the main character, and the characters took way too long to come to the main plot developments - 'twist' seems too strong a term.

If it had been illustrated by Tyler Crook then I think it would have been visually stunning, but even with the beautiful red leaves everywhere the art was still... only okay.
