What a bummer. I've read two other graphic novels from Tony Sandoval and adored both of those, so I was really hoping we could go 3/3 on this one, but nope. There are too many little plot threads that never quite felt like they belonged together, and despite the nonstop action and a healthy dose of oddity, the plot kept losing my interest and I had to drag myself through the ending. I'm also a little uncomfortable with full-frontal nudity and some generally sexual scenes revolving around a character whose age is never explicitly identified, but who seems very much to me to be pre-teen or very early teens at most (mainly based off of her attitude, the evident ages of her peers, and a comment she makes having recently started to develop breasts). I dunno - aside from Sandoval's beautiful art style, this whole book was sadly quite a miss for me.

Thank you so much to the publisher for providing me with this review copy in exchange for an honest review!
