Heart of magic is part of a larger realm of stories and it makes it hard to get into this graphic novel. There are footnotes if you will that tell you what other volumes of books you need to go back and look at. This story of ice starts out really weird as Dorothy is blue and there are all these new characters you've never heard of. And the monkeys aren't flying they are type of flying lion, maybe a Griffith? I have dnfed this book. I find it hard to understand but also intriguing. I think this will be better received by those who have read the cannon that comes before.
