This collection was very spotty for me, a lot of the stories felt underdeveloped either in concept or execution. A few standouts I really enjoyed included Godfather Death, which tells the story of a woman who can predict when someone will die; Black Bull, about a woman who seeks her fortune with a bull as her companion; and Nautilus, which depicts a young girl who is saved by some sort of water spirit and their resulting friendship. Five of the stories in this collection were actually prose stories with minor illustrations, rather than comics, so that was unexpected and I didn’t like it. Overall, not awful but I like the concept of this book a lot more than the actual resulting book.

I backed the Kickstarter for this collection and have never regretted it. Every time I re-read it I'm struck by the depth of the stories, the unique perspectives, the gorgeous art. There's one or two weaker stories in here but I don't mind--the rest more than makes up for it. Definitely looking forward to having this for my children to read and enjoy as much as I have.
