4.5/5 stars

Okay, so I didn't really have any expectations for this book. I just picked it up because the cover art was pretty. I was a little disappointed that the art was just black and white, but that lasted a whole of 2 pages until I reached the actual story.

The art is weirdly captivating. It just made the whole story more powerful. The brush strokes and dramatic shading are epic. The character designs and their expressions are just amazing. Like wow. It was hard to breathe at times, when I was captivated by the art (I sound like a broken record, but seriously...).

Aaanyway, the story was great too! Maybe after talking about the art, I'll sound unimpressed. The story was rather simple. Can't go wrong with simple, right? There were a couple things that seemed a bit underdeveloped, but maybe that's just because I wanted more details of the story. It took me a hot minute to realize the narration bubbles were pilot logs and maybe that threw me out of the story at first. But once I moved past that, I really enjoyed the story.

This was seriously a really great read. I recommend to anyone who will listen to me! I really enjoyed it. I even made it the 100th book I read in 2021 :) (worth it!)
Anyway, totally go for it! I can't wait to go back and randomly stare at the art in this book...
