5 stars for the gorgeous, ethereal art and 3 stars for the writing.

This book is a beautiful one, quite literally. The art was absolutely breathtaking, I enjoyed flipping through the pages! The only thing that put me off was the writing, which was good in its own right. But since this is a graphic novel, the flowery prose was very much in contrast to the other elements. I do see a connection between them—both the art and writing being poetic, but the words didn't make sense to me. It was like a body without a soul; pretty but no purpose. The theme of the book was also well-thought of and interesting.

Thank you NetGalley and Diamond Book Distributors for presenting me with an ARC of this book in exchange of a honest review.

With gorgeous, lyrical writing and breathtaking artwork, this is an utterly breathtaking picture book.

The art is extremely beautiful, the story itself is more like poetry and sort of feels unnecessary to the art, but not bad or anything. I mostly just stared at and enjoyed the art.

I enjoyed the whimsical artwork style (except for the rather realistic unicorn birth scene, that seemed unnecessary). But the poetry didn't really resonate with me. Perhaps because it is a translation?
