I'm sold. I picked this up in the comic shop a couple of times and put it back down because the graphic style just doesn't suit me. But I'd heard rave reviews so when the first volume showed up in my library, I took the chance and I'm so glad I did.
Primarily I'd say that this is not a pretty comic. It's gruesome. Not just in how things are visually presented or in the story itself, although those things are true too, but the drawing style and the expressions of the characters are very real, very disturbing and heady. Even though the style makes me want to cringe, it is a perfect addition to a compelling story.
Each chapter adds a little more back story and about a dozen questions to what will likely become a complex and multifaceted tale. It's kind of like a train wreck, in that best possible, can't turn away, don't really want to know, but must continue sort of way.
Highly recommend. I'm super curious to follow this one down the rabbit hole.

I don’t love the art style, but I’m intrigued by the story. I’m very curious bro see where it goes. This poor family is going to need some serious trauma counseling.

I liked this, but I don't think I was in the proper state of mind to actually really enjoy it.
There were some particular scenes of violence that triggered some of my own personal issues, which normally doesn't happen.
I really liked the storyline and the artwork was nice. I think I will have to reread this at another time though, to get an actual feel if I will like this or not.

I didn’t know what to expect with this series buttttt it is amazing! All the characters are complex and real, with very real feelings that often get misinterpreted. The keys are such an amazing idea too, having keys that can do practically whatever you imagine is such an incredible idea!! Not only that, if addresses the issues that with magic like this there is danger and danger and violence is very very real in this series! I’m hooked!
