I had a hard time with the main characters. They needed to just sit down and talk to each other, but in a classic communication trope they didn’t till the end. Also, they needed to work through their issues and instead they just avoided them. Finally, the side characters didn’t seem very fleshed out, more like plot tools. The stakes were fairly low, and there was a lot more gore than I was expecting outside of the Pogram history.
Parts were really beautifully done, but overall the story fell flat for me. I can see why people love it though!

There’s a little bit of this that doesn’t quite land - it’s overlong, the strongest parts are Baba Yaga’s story by a longshot, though I honestly did love “girl animates a cemetery stone to life and they’re lesbians about it” - but it’s worth checking out.
