I've read this too :D

I thought it was very good, especially the little notes down the side like you said. You can almost see the beginnings of HDM in PP's mind..

it's a fairy tale, of course it has a happy ending. but as you can tell by the illustrations... the cold, dark, setting... it's a little dark. but yah, happy ending.
