dark emotional sad fast-paced

There's nothing like structurally wrong with the story from a structural standpoint--it's interesting and the characters are well-developed--and the art is nice. I just...struggle with the relationship of Victor and Nora. I usually find Mr. Freeze's origin story sympathetic, but the characters here are just...really young and their relationship develops VERY fast and it felt like Victor was just super pushy with his cure. I also am not a fan of "I am going to kill myself become of a terminal illness" as a storyline. I don't know, it's not a bad book, just not one that I was particularly fond of.

I did really like the art here though. I thought that was very well done.

To start, the art in this was absolutely gorgeous. I loved the way different colors are used to represent Victor and Nora. Overall, I wanted a little more from the characters and the story. And the ending! So heartbreaking. A great, quick read.
