I recommend this for anyone looking for a unique story that will stay with you.
I wasn’t sure about this in the first third of the story, but I’m so glad I stuck it out! The beginning was a bit slow, but once the story picked up, it was impossible to put down. This story is beautiful and inspiring albeit a tad confusing. By the end I still had some questions, but I can’t help but feel it’s intended to be that way and I think the story answers enough of those questions to walk away understanding the importance of the story.
I read this as an e-arc version in black and white which made the writing a difficult to read but the finished copy shouldn’t have those problems and I’m sure the artwork will be stunning in the finished version.
