The artwork on my review copy was really low resoltion, but from what I can tell the artwork looked gorgeous and it has obviously been crafted with a lot of love and attention. I found the writing, however, to be a bit awkward, and there is a fair amount of info dumping. That being said, there's enough here that I would give it to a kid that's a fan of Amulet; it's visually appealing and it's got a similar kid-goes-through-magical-doorway-and-must-save-the-day theme going on.
