    <body><![CDATA[I picked this up in my school library and read it in about 20 minutes.  The lack of length of the book does not detract from its depth.  It is by the same author responsible for the Flight graphic novels and he is a talented artist.

    <body><![CDATA[I believe this is Kibuishi's first foray into epic fantasy, and it's a really great start.  His mastery of cartooning, comics, and illustration burst from every panel, from the death of loved ones to funny car faces to battling octopus monsters.
