This gorgeous wordless comic book volume follows the Knight of Swords as he walks around, having adventures. I'm not totally sure what happens in the adventures or how they connect, but the imagery is absolutely astounding. Really just beautiful, colorful artwork.

I love the whimsical feeling of A Land Called Tarot. I can imagine that certain kids will love poring over the pictures, assembling them into a mental narrative or just absorbing their artistic value. In terms of being a story, this isn't one. And I'm pretty sure that it's not supposed to be. In an interview, Bertrand said, "Sometimes we yearn for closure and resolution, and sometimes all we need is going out for walk." This is a walk. A lovely, confusing, meandering walk through dimensions, portals, identities- with absolutely no explanation. It's not quite my cup of tea (I tend to prefer content with a narrative), but it will definitely find its people.

I received a digital review copy of this title from the publisher via Edelweiss.
