Cullen Bunn

The kier family travels to a remote cabin for a “working vacation”. Mr Kier is a dark fantasy novelist and he brings his family for a long stay at a cabin in an area that is full of lore and mystery.

The daughters Sommer and Winter explore the surrounding area and find statues of what looks to be dwarves, elves and warriors. One of the biggest is of a warrior queen, who is missing her hand and her weapon.

Later that night while the girls are trying to sleep , they find that something followed them home. This something, or some one kidnaps their parents.

These sisters find that there are some big parallels between their fathers novels and the mystery of the forest that has taken their seemingly normal lives and turned it in to a horrible nightmare.

The art style is unique, its not my absolute favorite but it does draw you in to the story. I do enjoy how the color pallet changes when referencing the book vs their current real world adventure.

The story switches between the book and the girls adventure cohesively and in a way that is easy to follow for the reader.

The action picks up fairly quickly and keeps the reader engaged. I can see this as a short run series and it being done well. I want to see how closely the books and the world they live in truly connect, and if her dad had some previously knowledge on the land and the lore that he drew inspiration for in writing his books.

Thank you NetGalley and Oni Press for the Digital ARC for review.
