This was very simple, but I enjoyed it. Very relevant in a time where "revisionist history" abounds. Lovely artwork. I wouldn't mind seeing these creatures in another story either. ( )

Syv is the seventh snow cat Prince. We start this book with a story of the eldking who used to rule over the land. But the eldking has been missing for a long time. When syvs father passes away, a new king must take his place maybe not an eldking but a new king. The kingdom that he lives in is poor and the people are untrusting of the big cats who just want their gold. Syvs too nice to the people in the community so his six brothers come up with a way to make him disappear. However, syv is more than what people think he is. He befriends a little girl, who turns out to be more than he ever expected. He goes on a wild and grand adventure to find the crown of the eldking and hopefully help his people. I certainly enjoyed the story even though parts of it feels a rushed. There is a big build up and then the ending is anticlimactic and very swift in coming. The artwork is amazing. It’s quite beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This book really makes me think about the old, sci-fi, animated movies that I grew up loving. Movies like the secrets of Nima, the animated Lord of the rings, and other things like that. I would love to see this transformed into a animated movie in the same art style that it has with a few changes to the story, but not many. Overall, this is a fantastic fantasy graphic story that while Maybe not, popular will have the ability to live on for many years if the right nerves get a hold of it. ( )
