Such a compelling story :)
 I loved the themes of forgiveness and second chances throughout this story. I thought that Patricia Johns did a good job describing her characters, from their reactions to grief, finding happiness and finding their purpose in life. It was an engaging read that had a good storyline. I thought that the characters reacted well to the situations they were put in and some of those situations were quite awkward (I mean imagine having to interact with a former beau!).
I give this book 4 stars for the creative characters, second chances, and overall story development that kept me engaged throughout the book.
*I volunteered to read this book in return for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

If you thought only Disney Pixar can make animated musicals with the power to make you cry as hard as you laugh, then think again. Netflix is here to surprise you! I've always loved animated movies but avoided Over the Moon when it was released last month because I heard it was all about how a young girl deals with grief and ugh, can anyone in 2020 handle their emotions? Because I sure can't. I couldn't stay away forever though and I'm so glad I finally gave it a try. This is such a beautiful movie from its storytelling to its visuals. If this isn't an Oscar contender I will RIOT.

The start of one of my favourite trilogies
The imagination involved in writing this book is phenomenal. Chambers has built whole worlds around each of her characters in this, from the AI who essentially runs the ship, to the human who is escaping her old life, via reptile-like ships captains. There’s excitement, grief, love and everything in between. And I loved it. It held my attention, and I didn’t want it to end. The wait for the second book was a long time, let me tell you! It’s one of those books where I finished it and wished that I could immediately pick it up and read it for the first time again.
So yes, I really rather liked it!

Beautiful artwork (4 more)
Gripping storyline
Great plot twists
The slipcase edition is a great collectors piece
Brilliantly laid out
Only 6 volumes in the series. (2 more)
The comics can be a little hard to get out of the skipcase
Excessive use can damage the slipcase if not careful
A gripping and scary series!
The slipcase edition contains all 6 paperback volumes in the main Locke and Key series.

It follows the tale of the Locke family who have moved to Keyhouse.

This series sees horror, grief, magic and good vs evil in a gipping storyline that keeps you on the edge of you seat all the way through.

I would 100% recommend this to both new and old graphic novel lovers looking for their next adventure to read.
