Review

The cover may be misleading, so don’t expect a lighthearted adventure tale. This novella has a tone reminiscent of classic fairytales, which I loved. Comprised four interconnected stories, each one progressively darker.

The authors created a world rich in folklore. With gratifying twists and fully-fledged characters, Seasons of Albadone is mystical and painful in equal measure.
