This was a gorgeous book with some beautiful illustrations with tons of information about the main characters, supernatural species, cookbook, etc. It's quite hefty and the cover is gorgeous and colorful.
I really enjoyed reading the correspondence between Trent, Quen and Jonathan, Devin Crossman's journal entries, the characters information sheets and the cookbook. I become quite sad when I read about Kisten's death (he's one of my favorite characters).
