Jim Henson's the Dark Crystal Novelization
by A.C.H. Smith
Growing up, Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal was one of my favorite movies, hands down. Now that I am a weird kid who has grown up into an even weirder adult, with the new Netflix series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance I have found myself re-immersed in this unprecedented, fantastical world.

Ultimately, this book should be read after seeing the original film, as it is a novelization that enhances established information, rather than working as a stand-alone book. For instance, there are numerous early concept images of the Skeksis interspersed throughout the novel that really have nothing to do with the plot on the page next to it, and would probably be more confusing than anything if you are not already familiar with them.
Overall, this is a solid book for any Dark Crystal fan. I definitely recommend it if you fall into this category.
Rating: 3.5 stars
