<strong>Simple & cute </strong>

A simple and cute retelling for an easy graphic novel read. Definitely doesn’t feel like it has the depth of even the films in a lot of ways as it boils complicated things down to base emotions - Mary is just a mean girl instead of a grief-stricken orphan shuttled to a new place where she’s basically alone, Colin is a spoiled boy always throwing fits instead of a boy with health problems who is overprotected by his father and servants and doctors yet also neglected by his father, and Master Craven is just mean instead of a man unable to deal with the loss of his wife and that possible impending loss of his son. . . Like these are complicated things you see more of I feel that you get less of here.

The art was gorgeous though and it’s definitely a sweet tale. It has lots of hope and love.

Honestly, I found the art style not to my taste and felt with the amount of text in the story as well it just made it difficult to read especially digitally. Maybe someday if I can get it physically I'll give it another shot as the story sounds like it has potential to be good.
