This royo book is in the same class of book as his earlier books prohibited and 3rd millinium but it is first off full sized(not small like prohibited) and secondly it has a few pages of book cover art like dreams. When I first ordered it I wasn't sure I would like it as his style has been changing since his earlier work and although still very good has drifted a bit from my favorite fantasy style, still this book I thought was very good and I certainly didn't regret getting it. Overall I would think that any royo fan would enjoy it.

Price: $24.00

It seems to me that Royo has reviewed his earlier works. Some of his illustrations (or as he prefers to say: _illuminations_) reminds me of those in "Dreams", others continue on the sombre, end-times scenery of "III Millenium" and of "Prohibited Book".

The new phase I was referring to in the title of my review is his focus on the central figure of his book "Malefic", which is now quite extensively explored in "Evolution". This art-book, as everything Royo hitherto touched, is high quality work. He is the master of light - almost etheric, otherwordly, shimmering light - and a creator of female bodies on canvas which even God would approve to manifest. With this book you will get an insight of this artist's vision of the trials and tribulations of the Third Millenium.
