• Quick Review Good book, lots of pages, good paper, no back to back images, and each group of books are kept separate except for the first 4 preview pages. I recommend this book with a few things to note below.
  
  First off, these are lots of different designs that the artist pulled from books specifically about the 4 listed in the description (Mermaids, Fairies, Vampires, Dragons). I picked up this book because I was looking for an adult book to color, specifically with human figures. The dragons were a bonus, and honestly, that is where I feel this book shines.
  There seems to be a bit of an artist progression as you go through this book and through the different themes.
  
  The book starts off with the mermaid section. This section has some good drawings in it that will be fun to color, but it by far has the least amount of detail in the drawings from the artist. This can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you like to illustrate. If you are into creating your own detail you will like these pages.
  
  The second section is the fairy section. This group has a little more detail on some of the drawings, but the whole section is way more cartoon-ish when it comes to the figures. The majority of this section feels like it belongs in a kids coloring book, not all of it though as there are a few adult themed pages, but most of it. This will probably be my least used section unless I cut out some pages for kids to color.
  
  Next is the vampire section. This will probably be my favorite section in the book based on the human figures drawn here. There is a good balance of theme and detail in these images. The backgrounds are very good and will really make these images fun to go through. That and all the provocative ladies lol.
  
  The last section is the dragon section. These images are VERY detailed. The artist went all in on the detail of these images and there is very little empty white space on these pages. They really focus on the dragons in these images as there are vary few human figures here. Each dragon looks different and there are even a few that are more lizard like.
  
  Great things about the book Variety Over 100 images unique in their own way. Paper The paper in this book is great. It feels a little thicker than your normal printer paper but not quite construction paper. Images are not back to back and the back of the pages is black to help cover up bleed through if you are using a penetrating ink (I have yet to test how alcohol markers bleed through yet, I will update once I try those).
  
  Cons
  1. The fairy section will have limited use for me.
  2. Having so much variety with 100+ images is great, and not having the images back to back is great, but together they add up to quite a large book making it kind of difficult to manage while coloring. The first image I did, I cut out of the book and will now have to find a place to keep the image. I will likely have others as well as I will probably cut all of my images out of the book.
• Very excited to receive this new release by Jade Summer! Although I already had 2 of these 4 books, I loved them so much, I didn't mind having an extra copy of each, plus having 2 others that I needed for my collection! I love that Jade Summer did this, Thank you and make some more! Would love grayscaled versions...
• The book is as pictured, the pages are a little thinner then I am use to. you have the picture on one side and the other side is all black seemed a little weird to me. The pages would have been a lot better if they had dotted lines as to where you can tear the picture out looks like you have to some how cut it out for someone like me who frames her pictures. Was hoping the character covered MORE of the page. Otherwise cute book, will post some after coloring.
  
  edit I don't like the paper that is used, you almost have to color hard to cover up all the white and as other have said the ink used on the pages does smear a bit when coloring and on fingers.
• I love combo books like this. I have the Vampires book, but $9.99 is a great price for the 3 I don't have. In this collection, you have a mixture of complex line art and simpler line art. I love having both options for those days when I just need to lay some color down and not think much about what I'm coloring. *lol*
  
  I miss the digital codes, but I understand.
• Got a few of these since I will be holed up at home recovering...nice paper and some duplicate pictures but I don't mind that so much. One for me, one for my friend etc. Great value for 100 pages- and they were MUCH bigger in person than I thought. For me, this is awesome. I really like the fantasy drawings and think they are well done.
• This is a wonderful collection of 4 of Jade Summer's coloring books. I love having a chance to own more of their books at a great price. I own many of their coloring books and love the variety of the artwork in them. I highly recommend them for everyone. I will continue to purchase any coloring books that interest me.
• The paper is not as crisp as I thought it would be, it reminds me more of newspaper. Details on pages are good, just not a fan of the paper used.
• The art in the book is a mixed bag between really lovely and a bit off. Some anatomical errors are overall nothing in comparison to the gorgeous details in many pieces. I'm very much enjoying this book. It's not quite to Selena Fennech standards but it's really cool to see how this artist's style and skill evolved!
