The artwork for each chapter is so detailed and stunning. I love looking at it.
The story of Jessies grandmother getting sick and her mother bringing her so they can take care of her is a believable story mixed into a land of fantasy.
When Jessie enters The Fairy Realm it seems more like a dream then reality and while connected to Jessies grandmother and family it just seems like an unlikely story. Yes, I know it is fantasy and a childrens book but something was missing in that step to keep the stories intertwined.
This book didnt leave me begging to know more but curious to know what the rest of the series is like. It does leave many unanswered questions which I guess is why it is a series. I felt in some ways this book could have been long or more detailed in some places but yet too descriptive in others.
