I love the art work but found it a bit boring at the beginning and I had some questions left unanswered by the end

Loved the art. The story felt one dimension and was not executed well - a shame because the setting and concept had such potential

4.5 Stars. I really enjoyed the story and beautiful watercolor drawings. Flawed main character, corrupt politics... Great setup for more storylines.

I didn't think I was going to finish this, but I gave myself the first issue to decide, and by then I was intrigued enough by the world and characters Jordan and Ryan made to keep going.

I did not love the art. I don't really like this style, nor do I like the coloring where noses and other appendages are depicted bright red; it makes everyone look like an alcoholic with a cold.

I received an advance copy of this book from Edelweiss


It is a very interesting story with a female protagonst in a very interesting and different setting. I enjoyed reading it and I want to see how the story progresses.
I liked the world building in the story and I found the participation of talking cats in the story very original. The cats speak their own language and they are everywhere seeing and listening almost everything.
I also really liked the illustrations. The art that accompanies the story is beautiful and different.

Strong protagonist, great world building, And Yass! Talking cats! Well, they speak cat, but humans can learn too.

I’m just not a fan of the watercolour style of comic art. I respect the talent, I just don’t personally enjoy the aesthetic.
