The Charles Vess artwork is wonderful, but this prequel/side story to Bone lacks the humor that I value so much in the main series.

As a big fan of the Bone series...this sucks. The plot conflicts with Rose's past in the main story and as much as I liked the overall aesthetic of the art style with this one, the faces are just...ew.

Well Charles Vess is doing the art, so obviously the art is better. But it is offset by the font on the lettering being almost unreadable. This is a prequel, but really it doesn't contain any surprises. Other than the large number of bad choices Rose makes. Still not a bad story, just not a great one.

I forgot how much I loved this series. I'm slowly rereading them all, and thought I should read the spin-off prequel before I continue. But since I hadn't read the series in a long time I could tell I was missing a lot of hints. I'll probably reread it AGAIN after I finish the series AGAIN.

A woman finds out her sister has been lying to her about how powerful she is when the man she loves is enchanted into loving her. The whole family is named after flowers.

Happened to read this at just the right moment while in the middle of the Bone saga.
