Honestly, one of my favorites they've put out. I loved the art style! And the plot was definitely interesting. Though it probably helped that I have been curious about the Kryn Dynasty since it was introduced in the show.

And the beginning? Please give me all lore drops and histories in beautifully illustrated, simple language books. It was so beautifully put together.

It's good, but sometimes confusing regarding who is saying what. It doesn't read as easy as some of the other comics due to the different timelines that aren't really clear cause the characters don't really age much and don't have alternating designs in the different timelines.
I will definitely read it again and see if I understand it better next time! The drawings are absolutely stunning and the additional lore is fantastic to have, especially as a DM who's running a campaign in Exandria :)
