Interesting story, but the pacing is strange in some parts. Not much world building, but follows a particular family that works with magic paintings. Not a giant surprise with the ending. I would have gotten 4 stars from me, if the ending was changed.

Adorable little story, like Coraline a story about a young girl (10) written for a somewhat older audience. Like "A Wizards guide to defensive baking" this one could have been called "A Illuminators guide to defensive painting" except that would over simplify the complex art of "Illuminations", and presumes that you've already read it, in order for you to know what an Illuminator is... so press play, and find out...Fun fact: Ursula Vernon, here writing as T. Kingfisher, is also a very good (and funny, of course) graphic artist who used to write quirky little stories to go with her (in lack of a more comprehensive word) awesome art. Lots of funny animals (wombats, hamsters, ant-eaters) and living fruits....(go, radish, go)

Lite trögstartad men sen blir den väldigt mysig och en småspännande bladvändare.
