My Review:
I want to say that this was sent to me for review from publisher and that, as all my reviews, this one is full of my honest opinions.
The Cover:
The Story:
A young boy starts his adventures and things start happening. With the things he has picked up and learned he will save the day.
Illustrations:
The illustrations are very vibrant and detailed. I love the warm tones in the colors and how clean and clear everything is. Its simple but its very awesome and I love it. With every page being so different you have to look at them more than once, certainly read the book more than once too, to be able to see everything. Or you'd miss a little detail.
First thing first, I was supposed to write this review after Nightlights but I completely forgot.
Also, I just have to say it but this book smells amazing. Between the smell of books and new shoes, books always win. Especially this one.
Am I curious about what other stories can come out o this world Joe has created? Yes.
This story is intertwined with a little bit of Norse mythology having some of the Norse gods as characters. Like Thor, and Odin.
This is such a beautiful book in every way. An adorable main character whose also an adventurer, a beautiful world full of creatures and magic, and delightful illustrations that make it easily submergible.

Although they say never judge a book by it's cover I believe the cover should represent what the book is going to be like or at least some aspect of it.The title and the ribbon are in gold foiling and it's beautiful. The cover art is amazingly beautiful too.

From a kids point of view:
I think children would find Arthur to be a hero. With Arthur being an unlikely hero who ends up saving the day. They would probably say he looks like Harry Potter which would make them like the character more.
That's what I believe.
