characters - ⭐️
illustrations - ⭐️
effective storytelling - .5⭐️

engaging overall - ⭐️

would recommend - .5⭐️

beautifully and intricately illustrated. the stories went from fun to gruesome very quickly, but not so gruesome that the complexity of emotions was lost.

i only gave .5⭐️ for effective storytelling because a couple of times it felt like i had missed something, even though i hadn’t.
