Each chapter is paired with lavish and luminous full-color art, making this the perfect collector's item to be enjoyed by both new audiences and old.
Customer Reviews
Very beautiful but now what I was expectinf
I couldn’t say what I was expecting but it wasn’t this and though I still enjoyed it immensely there was still a twinge of disappointment on the back of my tongue. It was a lot of small pieces of Cardans story that make him a very well developed whole being.
Not worth the cost
I enjoyed what unfolded, but it wasn’t worth the cost of the book. Would have been better if it followed more of how his thoughts turned toward Jude rather than just the little bit it had and more of what comes after the last book.
