Review: This graphic novel has a very unique art style. The shapes and colors used really contribute to a totally fantastical world. The world is vast and the characters that inhabit it are original and unique. This was a quick read, but a  little info dumpy. I think there was a twist ending, but I'm not even sure. This book was pretty ambiguous at times unless I just wasn't paying enough attention.

I give this book a 3.5/5. It is definitely super original with stunning artwork, but I didn't quite follow the story fully and there was a lot of info dumping.
