Geek Syndicate Issue 4 | Page 146

book has a similar colour hue but brighter and with a bit more depth, especially in the night-time scenes. Geek Syndicate Luke Pearson’s artistic style in these books makes me think of Tove Jansson’s artwork (the creator of the Moomins), as they share lots of similarities in terms of the rural settings and character design. Charac- ters are made up of exaggerated features and both artists have a love for mythical creatures and folklore – polishing the overall fantastical atmosphere in Hilda’s world. The books are full of humour and are an absolute delight to read. If you have kiddies, they’ll love the settings and all the diverse creatures and peo- ple – making great bedtime stories. For us adults? Well, you get to enjoy a gorgeous book full of rich scenery and characters that’ll make your heart melt. Sara Westrop Rating: GGGGG (Both Books) 146
