## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A curse for them but enchanting for you
*by J***R on December 9, 2016*

I found this graphic novel through a "best of 2016" list and I wasn't disappointed. The story went by quickly but left a mark on my mind, and I found myself re-reading and wondering about the many questions left unanswered. The art works well for the story and the pacing, as there's no need to linger frame by frame if you read as fast as it unfolds. That's not to say it's not lovely in its way, but each frame isn't typically as detailed as the cover.The story itself reminded me of reading Sandman with its cast of characters both mysterious and mundane, leaving me wondering why they are there and what they will do -- only some of which is explained, of course. I also found similarity in the threads of darkness throughout, and I felt they were never gratuitous but rather an important part of the mosaic. For the very reasonable price (I paid about 13 dollars US) I received a beautiful hardcover and a feast for you imagination, lasting me about an hour plus time spent brooding the story and pining for the sequel.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting, dark, fantasy
*by R***T on August 20, 2016*

I ordered this book based on a review from Onion AV Club, and was not disappointed. I would not call myself a comics connoisseur, but I certainly am a consumer of them.The world is an interesting, unusual fantasy setting, with a young girl as the primary protagonist. This alone would be refreshing, but the concepts and characters are executed well, drawing one into the material. As details are divulged, the mind races with extrapolations about the rest of the world; this is a hallmark of a good story.The artwork was fascinating. It is sketchy with a mid-value but saturated palette with effective coloring that demarcates action. Sometimes loose artwork like this sacrifices proportion, structure, or geometry. However, every line is well constructed, and the characters and environments are fluid, readable, evocative, and believable.It's a great book and I can't wait for the second.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Please do yourself a favor and read this great book!
*by M***. on January 6, 2018*

This is a beautifully done book and it's currently my favorite graphic novel (that might be saying something, as a regular comics consumer and am apart of a book club dedicated to comics).The story is interesting and errie, about a high stakes game of power no one intentionally entered, that becomes more and more gripping with the second volume. It's a fantastical story with magic and a large cast of characters range from comedic, heroic, dark and complicated. The way magic works in this world is particularly fun and gruesome. I'm personally very attached to comics with good art, and I absolutely adore Deacon's style, with an ink and painterly quality. Very well illustrated, with great designs and use of color.Please do yourself a favor and read this great book!
