This is such an impressive and sprawling book with an amazing atmosphere. I normally don't like fantasy books, but this is a welcome exception.

Spectactular. Alex Hirsch is so good at what he does. The art is so charming and the stories themselves are just the comfort needed from a Gravity Falls graphic novel.

This was a pretty okay read. The story was told really well and was very interesting, but there were some unanswered questions left behind. Overall it was a dramatic ride with some interesting twists and turns, but I won't be reading this again.
