adventurous dark slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

While I found parts of Preludes & Nocturnes very compelling, this was way too dark for me, in a way that I just couldn't stomach. Cain and Abel was one thing, but almost every other issue has something horrifying happening in it. Not something I could deal with at all.
