Disappointed. I picked this up because I recently read and loved graphic novels like Bloom, Heartstopper, and On a Sunbeam. I was hoping for mythology and romance and got absolutely nothing. In over 300 pages nothing is developed, not the plot, and not a single character. It’s confusing and hard to follow at times. There is nothing romantic about this unless you’re a fan of instalove, it’s honestly pretty icky and uncomfortable. I had high hopes for this one but there was absolutely no substance. One redeeming quality is the art style but a lot of the faces look the same and from page to page it’s inconsistent.
