This series is too fun. Totally operating by its own logic (a posse of gender neutral crystals defending a dead planet?), there's many times where I'm just along for the ride instead of being able to make sense of the details, but it generally all comes together by the end. The surreal visuals are a treat for the eyes and its such a unique series. I may grab a few copies ahead of where I'm at next time there's a sale because the pacing is so breezy its easy for me to lose my grip only reading a volume every couple months.
