Epic in the making. The ground work for great character development has been laid so hopefully the next volume will continue that progress. The creators don't shy away from the good, the bad and the ugly. Epic story line with multiple characters but with the art and dialogue the story is not boring.

"Winds of Numa Sera" es el primer tomo de una épica fantástica que combina acción e intrigas políticas.
El ritmo de este volumen es bastante inestable y, al final del día, se siente más lento de lo que debería.
Por lejos, el punto más alto es el arte y el diseño de personajes, hay pequeños detalles en los protagonistas que los hacen identificables. Por eso, es una rara elección que para el capítulo 6 hayan realizado un cambio tan drástico de estilo, ya que, aunque interesante, no aporta a la trama.
En cuanto a la historia en sí, hay muchos frentes abiertos, y si bien hay subtramas que tienen más peso que otras, hay tantos personajes por distintos lados que llega a ser confuso. Sirve para mostrarnos lo grande que es el mundo, pero no ayuda a que empaticemos, no hay tiempo. Sobre todo hacia los últimos capítulos donde aparecen nuevos grupos y subtramas.
A futuro me gustaría ver más personajes no-humanos, hasta más de la mitad del libro pensé que no había otras razas, pero de pronto aparecieron, y aunque no tuvieron peso, sería interesante ver cómo expanden el universo.
Personalmente, siento que tiene potencial. Voy a leer el siguiente libro porque quiero algunas resoluciones. Ahora mismo todo se siente muy desconectado.

"Winds of Numa Sera" has a great idea even if the pacing it's a little unstable. The art is excellent, and the character design is impeccable.
My main issue iwith this book it's the huge cast, there are so many people doing things that I have no time to empathize with any of them. Not all of them are important, but since they are part of the overall plot I felt like I should care.
The plot combines action and political intrigue, which works really well. But it felt really rushed, I wish the authors would show us a little more of this empire to have a better understatement of the stakes.
Overall, it feels very "epic in the making", I would like more nonhuman characters since it's obvious there are out there but we only see a few of them in the last part. They feel like an afterthought.
As a side note, the art style changes completely in chapter 6 and that was a choice. It take me out of the experience because there was no clear reason for such a drastic change.
Since it's the first volume, several things are just starting. I might give the next volume a chance since I want some resolutions. Right now everything feels very disconnected but with potential.

I really wanted to like this graphic novel
I like the concept and i like the artwork but for some reason i could not fall in love with any of the characters
after i finished the 224 pg i still did care for any character
I might give the next volume a chance but i don't think this story is for me

Amazing story and worldbuilding. I read it too quickly and I wish there was more.

I'll give it four stars instead of three because it's the first volume in which we're introduced to the different characters and places (so don't feel frustrated if you can't connect with the characters). The story is quite interesting and the last chapters promise a great sequel. The art is fantastic and I liked the change that happened midway.
Will be waiting for the next one and hope things get more complicated!
