There aren't enough words to describe the images and the aesthetics used by this author. Even if there were, it would probably take me a lifetime. While I know that it might be hard to come up with new aesthetics, I feel like this author managed to do just that.
They aren't just simple images; they are top-tier.
Not only do they fit the story perfectly, but they literally transport you into the middle of the story. Unlike the other aesthetics other authors create that only paint the story from a third-person perspective — does that make sense? I don't mean to throw shade on any other authors; my aesthetics aren't the greatest either.
Now, back to the images - they give off the vibe present in the movie called "Dead Poets Society" - it's a very nice movie. The poems used were also very nice, and they go hand in hand with the pictures. I recommend anyone to check them out. Despite them not being for everyone, the author is kind enough to explain any picture if you ask nicely. I'm glad to see a different type of aesthetics.

The images are perfectly suited for the story, and they will surely make the reader want to delve deeper.
The only reason I didn't give it a full mark regarding the engagement aspect is because I don't think it would attract people who are already fans.
However, all the images align perfectly with the blurb and portray the characters accurately. Additionally, each image enhances the overall vibe of the story.

The images selected for this book are stunningly beautiful.
Bursting with color, they suit each chapter perfectly. The characters are vividly portrayed, seamlessly blending into the story's fabric.
Each image evokes a sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of the classic Disney movies with princesses, which I dearly miss.
