What a whimsical collection of imaginary explorers. The art is truly captivating and the accompanied short stories are spell binding with a flourishing language.
The portrait of Charles Hawkler was what drew my attention, and the collective quality of the book convinced me I wanted it in my collection.
Every page is a wonder, but my favourite adventurer after having completed this book for the first time is for the time being Kululeko Sibindi. Kululeko whose phobias doesn't deter him of seeking out what he loves.

This trilogy ruined my sanity!

The first book were pretty decent and pulled on my heartstrings just enough to get me to continue with the next book, but after that this series tore my ♡-strings asunder completely.
I've barely been able to occupy my thought with anything other than these characters the last few days. Any chance I got I picked up my phone to just be able to read a few lines.

It has a lot of ups and downs. Some moments I thought that what I read was problematic and complete trash, while the other moment I loved it and almost couldn't breath because I got so emotional.

If all danmei-novels ruin me like this I'll have to stay far away from the genre to spare my heart.

Accidentally fell asleep for 1 or maybe 2 hours when listening to the book, but it's a truly interesting read. Felt a bit sick during some parts of it, getting all of one's rights stripped like in this story must be horrible.

This book took me 6 years to finish!
Everytime I picked it up I barely got a few pages further, so it almost made me abandon this series completely. I had devoured the first books in the series so I'm glad I'm finally finished with this road block. Hopefully I'll remember enough of the first books to enjoy the last one.
The book had a few parts that I sincerely enjoyed but overall it was sooo boring.

Ugh. This was the Hallmark story this series didn't need. Had a few good scenes but mostly I waited for it to pick up and be interesting.
