Review Detail

As in the original review of the first volume, the art and story continues to enchant, with some wonderful plot twists. If first volume was mostly on land this volume is concentrated on the sea, and what a marvellous and cruel beauty it is. If they ever make this into a movie, I do not know how they can capture the feeling in the same fashion without loosing something. The story continues to dig slightly deeper on the main characters, although some other minor characters could have perhaps used some more fleshing up. I was also left wanting perhaps more detail about the journey itself, but what was told left little to complain... I simply would like more of it.

Overall very enjoyable periodical story that feels right to the period. This is not one of those stories where setting is historical but characters add modern way. Everything feels right, even if tale itself is of course fiction.
