I gave this a good,but only after I tweaked it pretty signifigantly.  The plys of threads are way too thick and bulky.  I cut all the half cross stitches by half, added a sparkly lemon yellow to the "magic trail", there were funny looking tan lines running through the blue sections, I got rid of those, dropped the beads and stitched it on 32 count linen.  Oh yes, I also added 1/4 x stitches when needed. The charted stitches did not fit the backstitching. I am over halfway done, and with the changes it is going to turn out pretty nice.  I like the design, would give it a good(except for the lack of 1/4 stitches)
