The Morning Star: In Which the Extraordinary Correspondence of Griffin & Sabine is Illuminated

Arrived in good condition with all the attachments intact. Better than expected.

Deeper into the story of Griffin and Sabine, this book weaves the mysterious relationship of our characters. Where else can you discover the thoughts and travels of characters you never see and who may have never actually met? The paintings and drawings are as lush as the previous books.

In great condition.

I think I am disappointed. Not really sure. Can't be certain. I may, no I will, have to reread volumes 4, 5 and 6 just to make sure I didn't miss any subtleties. Otherwise Nick, I need you to explain a few things.

The Morning Star continues the Griffin & Sabine journey. Nick Bantock writes a great story and the illustrations are fantastic! It's a great addition to my home library.

I saw Star Wars Episode I, and felt greatly disappointed. One, Mr. Lucas should never write his own scripts - he's horrible at dialogue. Two, I hated Jar Jar Binks...hated him... I walked out of the theater feeling disenchanted. Like most of you thirtysomethings, I invested a great deal of my childhood imagination in the original Star Wars trilogy, and feel like Mr. Lucas let me down with trite dialogue and obscure storytelling... The only reasons I still feel the need to see Lucas' space westerns is that a) I'm connected to the force, and b) Lucas produces some of the best eye-candy visual effects in Hollywood.I have the similar mixed feelings about Nick Bantock's "The Morning Star."I am a huge fan of Nick Bantock's creative storytelling. His visual artistry is haunting. The first five installments of Griffin & Sabine were intriguingly woven tales that resonated what it is to be human - I think at one time or another, we all related to the trials of Griffin and Sabine. By the time my copy of "The Morning Star" arrived, I was set to have a few questions answered, to understand what power Bantock's four strangers possessed, and to know what on earth Frolatti's stake in their demise would earn mean to the rest of the world...My questions remained unanswered, and I am - at best, confused.All this to say, if you invested as much imagination in the Griffin & Sabine series as I did, you simply must see the series to the end... However, after such wonderful works as the original trilogy, I feel as if Mr. Bantock simply threw an ending away.... Matthew and Isabella hooked up, the world shook, and Frolatti and his angels were lost forever. So what? Why should I care?What was Frolatti looking to accomplish? I'm not sure. It seemed the series built a case that Matthew and Isabella's involvement in Griffin & Sabine's intrigue would have some world changing repercussions... But Bantock never clearly alluded to what they might be. In fact, it seemed that Matthew and Isabella's union did little more than free Griffin & Sabine - from what? I don't know. I was hoping that maybe the union uncovered some artifacts of the Alexandria Library, or taught us something more of alchemical harmony... or at least let the reader walk through the mysterious passage of Egypt with Matthew and Isabella...For the record, I'm still a fan of Bantock... partly because I know how wonderful his mind is (and the artwork IS stunning - some of my favorite in the series)... But I'll admit, my expectations exceeded the conclusion of this series. Jar Jar, I sincerely believe that even you might be disappointed.

"Morning Star". . . one has to have a vivid imagination in order to enjoy this book. It takes you on a colorful, brilliant, and dramatic journey. One can only take pleasure in this amusing and engaging story. You will read it time and time again. The read is so compelling and engaging that you will find something special each and every time you read it. Delivery was prompt and as described (new).

Very nice artwork!Just watching it is fun.

After waiting a year between each book for the next in this second trilogy, the Griffin and Sabine story is finally at an end... or is it? I love all of Nick Bantock's books, so would definitely recommend this one, but only if you start at the beginning, with "Griffin or Sabine," so you can really appreciate the series and get drawn into their world. I don't want to give away the ending, but will say that the art is as rich and the prose as lush as the rest of the series, and of course the appeal of the romance by correspondence is timeless and classic as ever.

If you have never come across Griffin and Sabine then don't start with this book! It is the last(?) in a six part story. The books are unique, being a tale of correspondence. The letters and postcards are physically presented within the books for you to take out and read, beautifully illustrated throughout the story progresses through the six volumes. It is a captivating story and wonderful experience.

Library book!!!!!!! Not impressed and it smells

I loved every single book in this series and I’m so grateful to the author for creating something so beautiful and amazing and fun to read.

Book as described except the shipping envelope was very thin and does not protect the book at all in shipping.
