Thank you Europe Comics and NetGalley fro the ARC.
Unfortunately, this book was not for me. I appreciate that the writer seemed to want to tell a tale that you might find in old folk stories. In fact it reminds me a lot of some Japanese and Chinese folk stories, but it's a story I could also see comfortably being in a collection that included Paul Bunyun.
And, while I'm found some joy in those types of stories in past, this story just didn't do much for me. The art style was interesting, but not really my cup of tea. It felt a bit like a simplified manga. So while I appreciate what Jade Khoo was trying to do here, none of it spoke to me.
