Ok, the story was great. The art work was beautiful. But the pages were just too busy for me. I like detail, but this was a bit of an overload for me. Just didn't allow for a nice reading experience for me when I was too worried about missing any detail that might be important. And there were a lot a details to try and take in.

Absolutely fantastic, off-the-wall comics. Bastian's writing is a joy, and the art is amazing.

A very unique comic, the art is fantastic.
The story seems meant for children, but not in a way that an adult can’t enjoy. There is so much depth to the art; it’s so detailed and chaotic that after some pages I just had to sit and scan through it all.

This was just okay. The artwork was interesting and I really wanted to enjoy the storyline but just didn’t. The font of the text made it really difficult to read and I had to strain my eyes to understand it. I had higher hopes going into this and now feel slightly disappointed that I wasted my time.

I chose this book from the library for two reasons, the first being that it sounded good, and the second was the pages. They were cut around the edges so that they resembled a stereotypical map, and it was amazing. I personally love when books go the extra mile to make them stand out (like staining their page edges a different colour!) so seeing this I practically lit up like a Christmas tree!
The main character was Cursed Pirate Girl and she was Bad Ass! She wasn't afraid, and she was ready to explore and get herself out of danger and stop a pair of siblings from fighting, and it was nice to see some great female representation! Especially because the drawings were fantastic, I was loving them all throughout the book! They really helped me understand the storyline because I struggled with it a few times because it was a little complicated to follow, I wasn't sure what was going on but with such detailed drawings, I was able to figure it out. However, this book did make me laugh a little, mainly the drawings. They were bizarre and perfect at the same time!
I don't think I'd read this book again, nor do I think I'd read the rest of this series, unfortunately.
