still way, way too many loose ends and subplots that don't seem like they're going anywhere but there's a lot to love.
the characters feel like real people, albeit extremely angsty ones, but i can relate.
bummed that i got all the way through this series in a couple of days only for "to be continued" and then still no book 7, even 5 years down the line.
extremely glad Cleo's eyes returned to normal human sized though, it was really distracting over the last couple of volumes, every time she was on the page i couldn't stop thinking about whether they were going to take over her whole face. Which is a shame, because I actually really love the art style.
maybe i have a soft spot for a bunch of gay moshers and possibly aliens idk
**idk how to feel about how many people with unusual or missing limbs are in this series though, bc there isn't really any other disability in the series (aside from mentions of vague illnesses cleo and glen have) and on top of natalie's sisters being conjoined twins, it feels a little fetishy, rather than inclusive imo
