The mystery plot was perfectly fine considering this was a YA graphic novel. It kept me interested in picking the book up again and again, especially given it had a cold/historical case component.
The art was also great. I liked the fine lines and the narrowness of the illustrations, although I will say that the panel placement in trying to keep things fresh and unique all the time was ironically sometimes repetitive.
The characters were definitely the weakest part of this book. The MC was very Mary-Sue to me. I think exploring the foundling aspect more, which was underutilised all round, could have given her more dimension. Goldie and Violet were compelling enough side characters, but Enver needed more work; outside of being friends with Noreen I didn't really know who they were.
