The two trilogies by Bantock have rich balance. There is a little of everything as far as context and the art is rich and inviting. ( )

Another stunning book from Bantock. One of the best things about this series is the way he manages to convey the sense that the reader has entered a complete world. We only hear snippets about and from Matthew and Isabella, but we know that they have full, complex lives outside of the small tidbits they reveal in their letters. This is a beautiful work, and one in which the art and the words blend to perfection. ( )

My first Nick Bantock novel, although others have been urging me to read his books for years. This isn't the first in the series, so it probably didn't make as much sense to me as it would have if I had read the others first, but it was gorgeous and intriguing nonetheless. It's also marvelously tactile, something that one doesn't often get in books intended for adults. Magical, mysterious, and lovely. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 081183140X, Hardcover)

Alexandria will continue to delight the 3 million readers who fell in love with the epistolary romance of Griffin & Sabine. Awash with gorgeous artwork, the mystery of Griffin Moss and Sabine Strohem now entwines Matthew Sedon, an archaeologist steeped in Egyptian antiquity, and Isabella de Reims, a student in Paris whose vision holds the key to a new reality. Intrigue turns to danger and romance turns to passion as Matthew and Isabella struggle to make sense of a world-and feelings-beyond experience. Only the guidance of Griffin and Sabine, expert navigators of myth and reality, can keep them safe. Author and artist Nick Bantock brings a new sensuality and romance to his vivid dreamscapes and unique visual perspective. Alexandria is a breathtaking new chapter in a saga that has captured hearts, minds, and imaginations the world over.
