3.75 out of 5

This book was absolutely an unexpected journey. I struggle in finding a specific genre for it and it left me wondering for a long time about some of its elements. Readers who enjoy both old gothic mysteries and very low-key historical fiction will probably appreciate this lovely and not very long story.

One more time 5 stars illustrations with a 2.5 story...the struggle!

Love the drawings and the story is getting interesting, but I hate the way the protagonist is being treated

3.5 Lovely to see different dynamics and new characters, but the series is becoming a bit too long for my taste. Hope that the last two books won't disappoint

3.5 stars but I will go on with the series for sure!

5 stars for the amazing illustrations and 2.5 for the story itself, I hoped for something more.
Each and every illustration is a piece of art that you can watch for hours <3

The beginning seemed very general and similar to many other books out there, but the final 100 pages were interesting enough for making me want to read the second book in the series.

It wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but still it was a very informative read. Some parts were too long in my opinion, but the author gave a pretty vivid picture of what was London like during Victorian era. If all you know about that time period deals with politics and the life of aristocrats this book will be useful in making you look at the other side of the country/history/social ladder.
3,75 stars

La poesia delle piccole cose. L'audacia di unire poetico e quotidiano senza vergogna e con l'abilità di un cantore. Questo libricino mi resterà nel cuore.

Finally a book that's a little bit different from the others in the series and I genuinely enjoyed it. For the first time I'm quite curious to pick up the next one, since it ended on a kind of interesting cliffhanger.

My very first cozy mystery and it was a nice 3.75 stars for me. The only reason why it's not a full 4 star is because it took me quite a bit to get invested in the characters. I really loved it towards the end and I didn't see the real solution to the mystery coming and that is great! Definitely will go on with the series.

A simple and cute high school love story. Nothing too special but all of the hedgehogs' illustrations are adorable and both of the main protagonists are likable from the very start for a change

Wasn't my cup of tea :(

This will be my last review for 2017 _ such a lovely volume. The drawings are so delicate and elegant and the story isn't overdramatic. Can't wait for the next one to come out in Italy

I wasn't expecting to enjoy it so much. It's a lovely and sweet collection of short stories about young lovers, magic, coincidences and Christmas. I'll definitely re-read it in the future :)

Less than 5 stars? Never.

Amazing illustrations and an interesting take on two well known fairytales combined in an unexpected way

I hoped for something more as far as the way of writing is concerned, but the illustrations are simply mesmerizing and deserving 7 stars out of 5!

Awww they are both so lovely and frustrating at the same time. I missed this kind of mangas

3.75 is the precise rating. The first time I tried to read this book I ended up DNFing it, but then I gave it a second chance and the second half was so much better! The writing is beautiful and fairy tale-like, but I had some issues with the main character that fortunately were solved by the end of the story

(3.5 stars) A nice and lovely short book for both children and adults. The narration moves on slowly, but it's a perfect rhythm for this kind of story. It makes you effortlessly think about some important topics, without forcing any answers on the reader

To rate this one is a struggle. It's somewhere around 3.75 for me, but I'll go with a 4 just because 3 seems too low.
It was a buddy read and we agreed that the rhythm of the book was a bit slow yet well orchestrated with some eventful parts. I'll definitely pick up the second to see how the story goes on and if the pacing will suit me better

4.5 stars and I can't wait to see how the story will develop further!

It's 4.5 read for me ^_^ such an enjoyable read, full of nice humor and with an interesting take on greek mythology

2nd re-read and if possible I love it even more

This is such a gentle and lovely story, perfect for both adults and children. The pastel colours are complementary to the narration and convey perfectly the atmosphere of the described world. Each character has a unique personality and background story, which is amazing considering the length of the graphic novel. Definitely read it as soon as you can!
