This journal is so much cooler in person than in the photo! My daughter wanted it because she’s a descendants fanatic.. and when it came it actually got my attention because it’s so.. I guess “authentic” would be the word... the symbol in the center is metal and raised. It could pass for a movie prop from the outside, in my opinion.Bought this for my neice for Christmas, she's a huge fan of Descendants and was super excited to receive this. The build quality is really good for the price, so I was proud to give it as a gift.This was a pleasant surprise. It's like a leather bound journal. Much better quality than expected.I was so excited to see that my journal was finally delivered. It it so beautiful and I fell in love with it right when I opened it. This is a MUST BUY if you are a huge Mal fan like I am!Beautifully constructed very happy to give as a giftDaughter loves it. 2 of the jewels on the corners fell off immediately, but my daughter didn't mind so neither do I. Looks like the book in the movies. The faux leather cover makes it feel very authentic.grand daughter was happy so we are happy.Great quality
