“Adored this story and learning more about the Darkling!! I hope we get some Sylvi in a future bardugo work!! Kinda disappointed in some of the structural aspects and ways to show the magic in the comic- felt kinda clunky and rushed but I really enjoyed this”
“Beautiful illustrations and an interesting perspective on the conditions that created the Darkling. Loved to be in the Girshaverse again.”
Loudly Crying Face“Before he was the Darkling, he was a child trying to find his place in the world. This was an excellent prequel to the Shadow and Bone series, in a format I don't often find myself actively gravitating towards, but it was definitely effective in establishing the backstory of a key villain.”
