Ok, I didn't see that one coming. I very satisfying conclusion to the story arc ( )

I went into this hoping it would be similar to Ancient Magus's Bride and while the bare bones is somewhat aligned, it's a whole different ball game.

The Stark artwork here - with the shadows telling more than the actual words at times - set the scene quite well. It's almost a fable at first. A young girl lives with a monster awaiting her Aunt's return at the edge of an abandoned village. The woods are haunted, the monster is under a curse the girl lives mostly in obliviousness.

The tale grows darker as the book goes on however. Deeper. More menancing as others see the girl and decide she's a threat.

I can't wait to read the next volume. ( )

It's pretty, but not as interesting as I had hoped. Might still check out Vol 2. ( )

Such a fun story and a really admirable art style! I love the over-all feeling and enjoyed reading it a lot. ( )

Honestly this slapped??? ( )
