The Low, Low Woods by Carmen Maria Machado
2.5
dark slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

 
 This was a very interesting story with some decent horror, but I really disliked the execution. It's basically 75% weirdness, and 25% narrative info dumping at the end that reveals everything and an ending that feels hollow. 

The art was okay, but this will never be my favorite style. I like faces and bodies to be more defined, and for color work to be a little more interesting. The art felt dull.
