A review by amandaquotidianbooks
Rose by Jeff Smith, Charles Vess

2.0

This is a prequel for a series I've not read, but I thought I'd give it a try anyway. I found the story to be fairly standard. I wanted to love the illustrations, but Vess seemed to inconsistently draw his characters' faces, especially Rose. And the design of the Great Red Dragon seemed incongruous with the rest of the world's design. I did like the background and landscape illustrations, though.
