I love how much this fleshes out and captures the vibe of the Dark Crystal. It is a compelling plot and the descriptions were amazing. I appreciated what each character contributed to the plot and the provided illustrations to help visualize these strange creatures. It’s able to convey ideas and information in a way that allowed me to understand and stay in universe. I’ve yet to read the next book but I love everything I was able to discover.

It’s an overall easy read and definitely one I couldn’t put down. It’s a little slow in the beginning but I gobbled down the last 150 pages in a snap. Very good.
