------------------------------------------------------------

Review: The Dragon Prince is a beautiful tv show. This book showcases those visuals while giving an insight into how the show's aesthetic came to be. It details the conception and process of creating this series. The character designs. The creatures. I loved seeing the intent of diversity especially in background characters. Amaya's sign language and its evolution was also very interesting to learn about. 

There's a lot of beautiful art in this book. This book is an inspiration for anyone interested in fantasy worlds. I give this book a 4/5.
