Hi! I just bought this yesterday and I knew I had to read through it because I was also one of those kids who obsessed over strategy guides, bestiaries, any encyclopedia I could get my hands on!
It's a fantastic read, lots of love and creativity has been put into it! I was surprised how touching the flavor text was, I was totally invested in the story that unfolds throughout the book (yes there's even a great story, it's not just art!) Overall I really enjoyed the read, I know I'll be going back to it for re-reads because there are so many unique characters in it.
If you enjoy reading strategy guides, bestiaries, or looking through character art, this is the book for you!
