Yeah, it wasn’t for me... The idea is cool, I guess, but the execution was meh, and the art was spotty at best. I couldn’t bring myself to finish it.
jonathonjones's review against another edition

There were some interesting ideas here: a planet where everything is carefully controlled (including lifespans), rebels who are into more natural ways of living, putting aside differences to deal with a greater threat. My favorite part shows how the king/queen/princess became the way they are.
But it felt like there was too much all jammed into a short book. If they'd stuck with the ideas above, this could have been a winner, but they also decided to throw in crazy rituals, a bizarre festival which kills rebel leaders, people melding into weird new shapes when they hug their incestual twin... There are just too many themes to deal with any of them adequately.
