Urgh, again with the stories that start and then just stop with no resolution...

This was a great series. Brilliant world-building, engaging characters, interesting backstories. But the whole thing just kind of stops all of a sudden, with not many of the storylines are resolved. Which is a real shame.
This reason for this is that the creator transitioned into video game design (and created the Darksiders series), but as a result it left us with only the briefest of glimpses into this universe.
What brief glimpse you get is wonderful, and I'm glad I read it, but it mostly feels like just the start of what could have been a great series.

This genre, I have been told, is apparently fairly common in Korea, where the purpose of reading it is to relax and read, and not to join some characters on their adventures where stuff happens.
Very little happens over the course of 320 pages; not much plot, not much exposition, not much character development, not much of anything except the passing of time while you tag along. So this genre might not be for everyone. In fact, if it wasn't couched in the day-to-day running of a bookshop, I don't think I would've finished it.

Honestly, there's not much more to say. I still enjoyed it, to be clear. Even though this review might suggest ambivalence or even otherwise. It was a relaxing read.

I read the original last year; it was excellent, timely and I think everyone should read it. I was very excited to see a children's version was being released, and even moreso when I saw it at my local library.

@Tak@reading.taks.garden @picklish@books.theunseen.city I've also found this really frustrating for comics/graphic novels.
What about a separate/first entry for "primary author", and then the normal, multiple author entries?
