![]() ![]() From the perfect color palette, to the most perfect details, she executes the vibe of Cardan and his story in a way that I don’t think another artist could. I was already in love with her and her art because of her work with The Wayward Children series, but this entire book feels like am immersive work of art. Rovina Cai’s art is truly so beautiful that it renders me speechless. The sound that left me when I opened this book and realized we were going to get present day with Jude from Cardan’s POV… be still, my hopes and dreams and heart. ![]() How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories is an illustrated novella following Cardan Greenbriar, during many different stages in his life, while we slowly see all the different things that shaped him cruelly.

Johnny sank down on a stool and looked at her stonily. Marshall saw that she remained behind, he scampered out, as if fearful that the whole embarrassing episode would repeat itself. As the class came to a close, and the students filed out, Maggie hung back, waiting for the room to empty. “They finished the experiment and the attached quiz in silence. And so he continued on, waiting for redemption.” Now he simply wished to feel anything at all. For a time, the despair was so great that he begged for oblivion. What good is being crazy if there is no one who can deem you insane? Or for that matter - care whether you are normal? Insanity was exhausting and futile. There was a time he had descended into madness - but time had brought him out again. Alone as he had been day after day, year after year, decade after decade. ![]() But when they were gone he was utterly and completely alone. He could sit in on many a lecture, solve the most challenging equations, recite the first chapter of a Tale of Two Cities word for word, and as long as life filled the halls, he could pretend he lived among them.

Let me start off by saying I am by no means a comic aficionado. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Grant Morrisons wildly innovative X-Men saga returns!
