Odd and the Frost Giants by Neil Gaiman
4.25
adventurous fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Excellent quick tale which Neil excells at. Odd is not overly developed but this is how fairy tales proceed. We meet some old friends in New forms, it's brisk and doesn't linger but his descriptive language is as excellent as ever.

The illustrations, however, are superlative. Just gorgeous and develop the world even further.
