This volume is foremost an opportunity to showcase paper engineering. The text itself is readable, but it is the art, popping off the pages, that creates the story about romance and transformation. Each spread includes one central pop-up and several smaller ones along the sides of the pages. Sabuda effectively creates both the gloomy, foreboding castle and the warm, magical, happy ending.
