I follow the author of this book on instagram and I had seen so much of the character development art and sneak peeks of panels that as I read it I almost felt like I had read it before. Not in a bad way! It felt like reading something I had previously read in a dream. It's a slim book but every page is textury and dark and rich. It's a novella in the vein of Tillie Walden's On A Sunbeam. It's set in a strange future in which most of the world has gone wild and uninhabitable except the Citadel, which is protected by the Chancellor. This mysterious and powerful being never shows her face- her expressive eyes show out from the shadow of her hood. Her closest friend is a baker and healer named Olive, who defends the Chancellor against those in the city who mutter than she has too much power and can't be trusted. A surprise attack by a ragged band of outsiders sets in motive a series of events that threaten the safety of the whole city. I'm not sure how widely available this book is, but I highly recommend it. I bought it because I knew I wanted to pour over the art and think about it for a long time. Frantz has a technique of combining digital colors over feathery traditional inks that I absolutely love (and want to learn myself someday).
