Overall, not a fan of this. I did make it all the way through the first volume but didn’t even make it through the first chapter of the second volume before I just completely lost interest. The first chapter of this volume was the best part, everything afterward just fell flat.

Literally every person the main character knows gets killed and he has no reaction to it. He just leaves without a backward glance. It was bizarre.

I also didn’t care for the art style. I could not tell the sand masters apart and while flipping through the 2nd volume, the last chapter is done in a completely different style for some reason? I would have rather had this story as a novel, even if the magic does lend itself to a visual medium.
