The artwork is phenomenal but the story and dialogue felt very rushed.

Libary books are great. Getting to try out things I would never otherwize get to read. 
Realmathon is having their Peacetalks weekend readathon, so I am trying my best to get my team to win this year. <3 

The book has some absolutely stunning art, but I am not really a fan of the story? It just didnt have me intrigued enough. But the art is beautiful. <3

Ich wollte es lieben, wirklich! Und einen Teil liebe ich auch: den unglaublichen Zeichenstil!

Aber die Handlung war einfach nur verwirrend, die einzelnen Elemente und Parteien nicht flüssig in den ... Plot? ... Eingearbeitet und es wird viel zu oft zwischen Erinnerung und Gegenwart hin- und hergesprungen. Ich wundere mich auch, ob der eine Charakter zweimal gestorben ist, auf komplett unterschiedliche Weite von verschiedenen Personen? Es fehlt ein roter Faden, spät bekommt man mit, dass die Erinnerung des fliegenden Wolfes anscheinend hinter den Erzählboxen steckt. Das funktioniert bei Saga tausend Mal besser!

I'm sorry but there's only one way to describe this graphic novel: WTH did I just read?

Also it's a heck of a time trying to even find it on Goodreads. It's at the very bottom of the suggestions when searching for "The Cloud." Goodreads is probably burying it as a favor to you.

Beautifully illustrated, but extremely difficult to follow!

Nearly four stars mostly for the absolutely gorgeous design. I fell in love with it the second I set my eyes on the cover and I just couldn't stop turning the pages and admiring even before I actually read it. That last fifth star is missing because the plot was so vague and complicated that I didn't get much out of it. The idea behind the story seems very interesting but the execution was poor and it left me with many questions and with no memorable character. It's such a shame because it had great potential.

This was one of the very best graphic novels I read. I honestly cannot begin my review. It's a masterpiece that, in my shelves goes along with Caza's "Age of Darkness" and Craig Thompson's "Habibi". Just brilliant and wonderful! And in my personal favorites usually I have comics/BD that are written and drawn by the same artist. Writer. K.I. Zachopoulos and Vincenzo Balzano's collaboration is seamless, surprising, outstanding.

I found the illustrations for this graphic novel absolutely stunning, and the story was lovely. A very beautiful book.
