The artwork is exceptional- the story was hard to follow. I feel like you need to have a basic understanding of Christianity to really understand.

Very interesting book. I finished and immediately wanted to start over and try to make sense of everything I had just read. The art is unique and gorgeously detailed - the whole thing really reminded me of We Stand on Guard but with more mythos, more super powers. I wonder about the author's connection with First Nations people. All that being said this was interesting and kept me reading. I'll definitely read more, because I want to find out what's next for Little Bird.

i honestly found this hard to follow along with. the art was beautiful and i enjoyed parts of the story but it was a bit confusing as to what was happening at times.

Honestly, what did I just read?
It was very hard to follow the characters b/c of the frequent outfit and hair changes as well as so many identical background characters. The story line was ever changing, and not in an interest ing plot twist way, for me. I don't understand the high ratings and reviews, or suggested after the other graphic novels I've read. Very quick too get through, but not for me at all.

Minor: Suicide attempt
The fully colored graphic novel is 200+ pages of Little Bird (the protag) and her allies rebelling against an oppressive christian government. Lots and lots of blood, gore, death, weapons of war, etc. Every page has cool, stylized art depicting scenes that would be hard to look at otherwise. Not for everyone but if you can stomach gore, definitely read it!noodles01's review against another edition
