Wow! Emil Ferris is so talented. The artwork and the storytelling had a mesmerizing effect. A fully immersive tale of murder, mayhem, monsters, and art history--when it ended I immediately felt like I can't wait to grab the sequel and get back to Karen's world.

5.0

The book equivalent of eating a really nice meal. It’s so full of so many concepts, characters, and interlocking stories, but the author brings everything together so well. The formatting is also so unique with it being in a lined notebook, and the artwork was truly incredible. The queer main character drawing herself as a wearwolf was also an excellent nod to how wearwolves are often a metaphor for queerness. Some parts were pretty heavy, and I cried A LOT, but it’s worth it.
