Positives. The art is absolutely gorgeous! The style and story reminds me of adventure cartoon series like amphibia or the owl house and the characters have very distinct personalities.
Negatives. This graphic novel is aimed more towards kids which results in the story lacking some depth. Then again, this is the first volume in a series so that might improve as Alidade, Blue and Lewis dive into new adventures. Unfortunately, the print quality of the print version is not great. This can make it hard to see the details of some detailed panels.

Love the art. I felt like the story could have used a bit more development, but I'm happy to continue reading the series and seeing where it goes.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a story about friends, family, and chasing the unknown. It was about confronting unjust power and being bold. The art was stunning and I thought it was a cool story.

Comme toujours avec Kinaye, j’ai adoré. Les couleurs et les dessins sont vraiment magnifiques. L’histoire est magique, et vraiment cool. J’ai hâte d’en lire plus et de découvrir plus sur le monde et les mentaux noirs.
