Uma graphic novel maravilhosa, bem do estilo que eu gosto, com mistérios, um pouquinho de terror, e mulheres fortes e inteligentes. É a primeira webcomic que leio, gostei muito da experiência.

Interesting story. Faulkner reminds me of my baby boy Jem from The Infernal Devices, so I will continue.

I read the five volumes of The Phoenix Requiem in one go, and will review them in one go. My thoughts: A very beautifully illustrated fantasy graphic novel with an intriguing story which started well and kept me reading, but left me feeling a bit confused and let down by the end of it.

Absolutely lovely. The art is beautiful and the story is very interesting. I love Jonas. He's so odd, yet charming.

I feel the story could have a faster pacing but I'm willing to go with it for now. I just hope it picks up and the mystery surrounding Jonas would be explained, at least to keep me intrigued enough to continue reading.. On to the second volume!

So I binged on the whole webcomic over the course of this weekend, and holy crap it was amazing. The artwork is beautiful and I do love the chemistry between the two main characters - however, there were bits of the story that were lacking. The ending, for example. It just sort of...ends. Drops off. The history and religion of the world they're living in is never really explained, and the whole plague thing never really feels like a threat - it is just there in the background. I kind of wish that this comic had gone on for a lot longer than 800 pages. I would have gladly read 1,500 pages worth of this comic.
But, then again, despite it's problems it really is damn pretty to look at. I would rather have had a super-happy love-conquers-all-wedding-sex-and-babies ending. Because I'm a schmuck.
Definitely recommend. Go read now.

The artwork is amazing. The story is amazing. And the characters are amazing. You could not ask for a better story. I have to be honest, I binge read the entire webcomic over the weekend. For some reason, I felt like diving into an old comic that I hadn't read in a long while. When I first read this, I just couldn't get into it, which really annoyed me. The plot is unique and the characters are real. There are spurts of action; however, I wish that there were more. I do have to say that there is only one thing that I dislike about this. With webcomics and graphic novels, the story solely depends on the scenes and the dialogue. Sometimes, long and drawn out dialogue takes away from the story. Often, I couldn't skip it because the dialogue is critical to the story. Though there was some action, I do wish that there was a little bit more. Sarah excellently portrays each emotion, each thought, and each action throughout her work.

Took me two days to read, well worth the hours spent. Lovely artwork. The story could get a little twisty -- I must admit, I'm still not 100% sure of what happened in the conclusion. But that'll probably come with a second read. Fantastic indie comic, more that just a fluffy romance for sure there is a lot by way of discussing morals and ethics regarding faith.
