I find these kind of reviews the hardest to write, so it will be short and sweet, much like the book!
And I think that's what didn't quite work for me. The book is cute and sweet, so very sweet, far too sickly sweet for me!
It's a NICE book, just one that didn't push my buttons in any way (eeek!)
It's only a short book, slotting between books one and two, I think and I haven't read those. Whether those characters pop up here, I've no idea but I didn't feel I missed anything, but equally, I don't feel the need to read them, you know?
So, because I did finish it, I gave it . . .

Cian is sent on a journey to find out who or what is causing all the deaths in his village.
I really enjoyed this! It's a step out my comfort zone, and a very good one at that.
I'd class it as high fantasy. Very Tolkien-esque, with an epic journey, lives at stake, elves, dwarves, centsaurs, sea serpents on the rampage and a madman, messing with dark blood magic.
Throw in a slow burn sweet romance, between Cian and his guide, Thanyon, and you've got a near perfect book!
Only Cian gets a say, though, and at points, he had a lot to say.
But a fabulous read.

Some really good artwork here, being slightly cartoony in nature but not too twee. Some good interaction with Guardians of the Galaxy.
But in general, just a bit flimsy and dull. A lot of the book falls into Phantom Menace-esque international trade tariff discussions which take up quite a large proportion of the page count.
I don't feel like this really shows off one of the most powerful superheroes in all their glory, rather being a strong independent woman sorting things out through political discussion and diplomacy before eventually resorting to her powers. While this was right for the story being told, I found it a boring one. I may not be the target market for this.
