Sorry, that art style gives me the heebie-jeebies

I guess its different when you grow up with it. I always felt it gave it a certain fairy tale feel that while not directly called for by the text, made my young brain fall in love with it all the more. Like the whole concept of uglycute and baby yoda or whatever his name is.

it feels very true to JRRs inspiration from finnish, the style has the same vibe as traditional art up here where you're not sure if something is a rock or a troll and everything feels vaguely unsettling.

Ok that is a lovely description. Can you suggest some Finnish folk tales I could read tonight?
