A bit weird and the dialogue is strangely translated in parts. Very artistic and interesting graphic novel though.

Tolle Bilder liefern eine intensive Atmosphäre und die Handlung ist flott erzählt. Das Ganze wirkt auf mich aber unnötig verschwurbelt und bedeutungsschwanger.

An amazing book start to finish. Haunting and fascinating story. Deep characters, loss and confusion and sec doubt, danger. Loved it.

It's a nice little graphic novel. It's closer to a 3.5 star, but I did round up because the art is beautiful. The story isn't too deep, but the concept is there. I'd be really fascinated to see an adaptation and expansion of the story and the world.

Beautifully drawn and I enjoyed the way the translation was executed. Don’t really know if I loved the story itself, but it brought the noir feeling.

A quick read, almost eerie and quite strange! I enjoyed the graphics, some pages were lacking in text but overall the story was told. Would have enjoyed a longer tale with more details but would still recommend this book!

Een zeer filmisch boek in uitgepuurde klare-lijnstijl. Met vanzelfsprekend een opening voor een vervolg (dat er ook gekomen is, als ik mij niet vergis). Bonuspunten voor de harde kaft en groot formaat, een zeer mooie uitgave.
