Tillie Walden gets me like no one else does ;-;. Her atmospheric paneling and gorgeous color palettes are what drew me to this book, and it's one of my all-time favorites. What a compelling visual narrative with such relatable characters (and incredible new worlds to explore!).

The art (especially the use of color) was very interesting and really enough to keep you reading, but the world-building and the plot just don't make sense.
