Reviews
“As this series develops, it becomes more and more intriguing; readers will eagerly anticipate subsequent volumes. A lush and immersive sequel to lose oneself in.“
“These are beautiful books. Haru is at all times moving, funny, exciting and sad, a thrillingly epic story which still manages to keep its focus small and personal. Fascinatingly complex characters lurching, running, and chasing across beautifully painted pages, a journey not just through a richly conceived world, but through the hearts and souls of everyone in it. An exceptionally touching story, you should definitely be reading it.”
– Jamie Smart, author of Bunny Vs Monkey and Lushkin
This book might appeal to fans of Hilda and the Troll by Luke Pearson and Lightfall by Tim Probert.
