Spera, Volume 1

“There’s so much poetry in a good novel that the beauty transports me.
I read for the beauty when things go dark.”
This needed a stronger beginning for me to enjoy this. I liked the episodic self-contained adventures, but there were too many missing gaps. I wished we could have seen Pira’s mother start her coup d'etat (?) or at least the tail end of Pira running out to find Lono.
The beginning we do have is Yonder commenting on how much older Lono has gotten, which didn’t set the story well. You can have this type of storytelling where you start in the middle and come back to the origin later when it’s planned properly. But the pacing and story here are a detriment.
The changing art styles are fun tho
