This story wanted to be full of twists and turns, but none of them were hitting. Instead, it’s just a disorganized, confusing mess.
First, the artwork is lovely, colorful, and stylized though some shots of Naja feel gratuitous. I loved seeing the color palette change with each new location.
Does Naja hate every country? I was put off by the narrator. I believe this was to show how detached Naja is from the world, but she just sounded like a butthole to me.
Anyway, the story is definitely older. A character is referred to as a “faggot.” It’s twisted as well. Naja’s father beat her repeatedly when she was younger
Spoiler
entirely out of love from his perspective, as he knows how desperately she desires to feel pain.The ending is too outlandish and disgusting. Were y’all trying to be edgy?
Spoiler
She’s his mom and half-sister. And they were in instalove for the first half of the book. Why do y’all put this incestuous junk in here.Ultimately, this story wasn’t for me.
