This review is from: Rainbow Orchid (Paperback)
The first part of the Rainbow Orchid saga was one of my favorite finds in 2009. Part 2 continues the fine work.
Although the cliffhanger ending will keep me nervous for the next six months, this is a brilliant middle volume. It adds more layers to the story, progresses the plot, gets us closer to the characters and leaves us wanting more.
Ewing's skill as an artist also continues to amaze. Even from the first page - with his gorgeous rendering of the Natural History Museum - it showed an attention to historical detail & painstaking craftsmanship. I also love the pop-art Lichtenstein style of the work, so much so that I wound up buying a print of the foxy femme fatale Crowe.
This is a heart-warming book, written and drawn with true devotion. I can't speak for kids, but as an adult, I love it. Bring out book 3.
