The artwork is stunning, just sincerely gorgeous, and I'm tempted to buy this just for the sake of studying all the creatures illustrated in this book. However, it feels like so much of the story is missing, and that makes me wonder if something was lost in the translation or if this is really all there is to the text.
Honestly, what was going on with this story? A student disappeared, and everyone just continued on like nothing had happened. Another one keeps trying to sabotage Sorceline for no apparent reason except that they're some stereotypical bitter/jealous rival with a maybe bad home life. One kid tried to pin the mystery on Sorceline, but then maybe they were actually the villain, but that doesn't make sense either. Not to mention, Sorceline is apparently seeing things and talking to her mom on her cell phone even though the island they are on doesn't have service and her phone is off. Don't get me started on the Professor who just can't give Sorceline a break after he tells her something that changed her perception of her entire existence.
I'll read the next volume but only to see what the reveals are really meant to be. As beautiful as this is, I don't think it'll be taking up a spot in my library after all.
