The illustrations are easy to follow, but still detailed and I like how the colour palette changes with the atmosphere. This graphic novel is told in dual timelines and it was a bit hard to get into. Either of those timelines left me wanting to know more. There aren't enough pages to explore the main character's training and growth in the past and certainly not enough room for world builiding. The protagonist is also not a very engaging character.
Overall this is more of a fun and short adventure story, as the overarching story will continue in the next installment. The characters are not well developed and I wanted to learn more about to world, because what I saw of it peaked my interest. I appreciate the extra content, such as character designs and alternative covers, in the back of the novel.

This graphic novel was very cute. I felt like it really opened up to explore more about the world and everything. The art work was fantastic.
There were times that I felt the story drag, but that was just me. I know this graphic novel would appeal to a lot of people.

In this Arthurian-style tale, a young prince is separated from his parents only to return without a home. This is a fabulous start to what I hope is more than a duology. The story is gripping and full of action as the main character, Kaidan, fights off mythical creatures and enemies. If the story wasn't reason enough to love this book, the illustrations are absolutely stunning and full of color. My favorite picture might actually be the last page of the novel because it has such a beautiful sunrise. Unlike most mythical stories of this caliber, there is a badass group of warrior women that remind me of the Amazons. I'm interested to see what happens in the next installment as Kaidan fights off more enemies to reclaim his throne and saves his mother from the clutches of his enemies. Lovers of the show Merlin and Arthurian legend definitely need to add this to their collection.
