I was really excited to read this, but I may have misjudged the tone of this story. It started off really strongly, but lost me for quite a while of the middle, and then ending strongly with the 12th volume. I'm considering rereading it later this year, just to see if I'm in a better headspace to follow along with all the seemingly random storylines, but for now it's just a disappointment. Amazing artwork though!

I really enjoyed this book, it’s a good dystopian that feels very close to our reality so it’s not too hard to grasp. A great portrait of how people are not good or bad, they are just people who do good or bad. Not five stars, however, because I found it difficult to follow and I’m usually a pretty solid reader.
