A glimpse of the young Auberon,

This review is from: Books of Faerie: Auberon's Tale (Paperback)
I have been captivated by the world of Faerie ever since I encountered it in the "Sandman" books by Neil Gaiman. This book in the spinoff series "The Books of Faerie" gives a glimpse of (my personal favorite character) Auberon as a child, before he became King. It's fascinating to see the that Auberon used to be. There are other familiar characters here as well, such as Dymphna, Obrey and even the Amadan. As with all the books in these series, the art is beautiful and the stories are well-written and engaging. There is even a Timothy Hunter story at the end, "Dark As Day, My Lady, Bright As Night." I highly recommend the "Sandman" books and all of their related series to my friends and fellow booklovers, and "Auberon's Tale" upholds the high standards already set. A lovely and entertaining read.

Then this book is for you. This is a good follow up to the first trade paperback in the series, but can also stand on its own. The artwork is very good overall and detailed, consistent with Sandman and Books of Magic.

This review is from: Books of Faerie: Auberon's Tale (Paperback)
This book is wonderful! It really begins to make sense of why Auberon is such a distant character in the rest of the storiesThe art work is wonderful to look at and the story line is wonderful. I had to read it a few times to fully understand, but once it clicks the book is wonderful. I fully recomend this book to those who like the series!
