I know everyone loves this, and honestly, I can see why! The art is absolutely gorgeous, all throughout the book. I loved the style and the subtle nature of the some of the illustrations. They work so well throughout the book to help tell the story they want to tell.

Despite the gorgeous nature of the art, the writing fell a bit flat for me. It was pretty rocky at the start, and while I do think it gets better the more you get into the book, I'm not sure it quite gets where it needs to be. Perhaps it's because it works better as a web comic? I don't know. Probably will still read the next volume, though!
