This is a very refreshing book. I flew right through it. 

It is a commentary on damsels in destress. Nill tries to save his girlfriend but he ultimately makes everything worse by trying to save her. It is also implied that Nill was not saving Annette for her but rather to prove to himself that he was worth something.

I enjoyed that Kairos was not talking down to it's audience but rather trusts it's audience to understand without being directly told. 

The art is beautiful and there are a lot of panels without talking and you get to take in the atmosphere. Those are always the best and more mem rable panels when you are reading it.
