Monstress, Vol. 1: Awakening
by Marjorie M. Liu
challenging
dark
mysterious
slow-paced
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
I'd say my biggest flaw in this is neither the art (which is stunning) nor the story which is complex and intricate. It's the combination of them, there is so much text that it doesn't let the art breathe, and at times the story feels unnecessary slow for the sake of the art
