Honestly just go in knowing as little as possible. It’s weird and it’s beautiful and it made me feel Big Feelings.

"but life is worthy and beautiful even if it is not always pretty"
This is beautiful and I cried at the end. It did not turn out how I thought it would and I'm so glad.

I read it all in one go. The illustration is beautiful, the color palette rich and luscious to look at. It was an amazing twist on a classic story and I loved it being framed with South Asian mythology/religion.
I can't recommend it enough especially if you like Sandman.

The art was absolutely lovely. And I appreciate the sentiment behind the story and the ending. But I guess I wanted a bit more. Maybe that’s the beauty of this novel though, the lack of a grandiose ending. That it does end, after all.
