Given that this is a book for kids, I didn't give it the full rating I would have as an adult book. The mischaracterization of nearly every character was insane. This book would have been better as its own original world rather than simply taking names of well known characters and having no other similarities to the source material.

On the positive note, the art style is cute and had I been a lot younger without a vested interest in comics, it would have been a good story.

There are quite a few CWs that should be addressed within the story. Maxi's abuse does make her communication skills lacking, but Riftan doesn't have that much of an excuse. I cannot tell if they are engaging consensually or not, but Riftan's character so far has not lent itself to him being an abuser in any way.

This being only part of the story makes it difficult to give a proper review. When the rest of the story comes out, I'm sure more will be explained and character growth will happen.

The art is beautiful, though!
