An emotional rollercoaster.
Sincerely hope that this has a sequel as there is so much more story to tell and mysteries to be solved!

4/4.5 stars.
Prepare yourself for a heartbreaking, raw, ride. Beautifully written, darkly descriptive, and intense.
The only reason this doesn't get the full 5 stars is because there was very little ebb and flow of emotions. It is mostly fraught, with very few light moments to break up the harshness. But I did enjoy it greatly, and am looking forward to the sequel!
For fans of Miss Peregrine's, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and The Nevers.

A perfect graphic novel for all us curly haired people that have ever been led to believe that we are not enough with our natural hair.
I adored the journey this took us on and the accurate representation of societal pressure to look a certain way with which to be respected and / or appreciated.

You can see the heavy Tolkien influence within this story. It was witty and adventurous and filled with intriguing characters.

This doesn't quite get the full 5 stars as I felt there was something from the first book that was missing in this one. The ending also didn't quite tie everything up as I'd hoped. But I did enjoy the twists and turns, the savage undercurrent ect.

I appreciated the dual perspective in this, I did, however, find that the female character was written very similar to her friend who featured in the first book.
She'd seemed more dynamic when she was introduced in the first book, but then fell a little flat in this. However, I did enjoy Lucas' POV and the wonderful food descriptions.

Trigger warning for emotional abuse, gaslighting and toxic relationships.
A heartwarming story that tackles compatibility, heartbreak, trauma and ultimately love.
