The art style is simple black ink on white, fairly broad strokes, but absolutely stunning. Every few pages i catch myself staring at a well chosen weight of line, or the shape of an eyebrow. The characterisation and character design is wonderful and so inventive. The story is mysterious, twisting and turning between characters, and i like that it doesn't hold your hand. Oh and hell yeah

asexual main character (im a sucker for the ace character immune to sirens trope)

An excellent, spooky faerie story! The world is fascinating, the characters are at once alien and relatable. The pacing is great, never giving anything away too quickly, maintaining an air of mystery while never being frustrating or confusing. The art is fantastic, with brilliant creature and character designs. I really enjoy some of the clever sound effects and devices that show up more and more as the comic goes on ("Thud Also" absolutely cracked me up). Most impressively, Wilson's art conveys an incredible sense of atmosphere. I feel immersed in the world, like I can smell, hear and feel the art, not just look at it. That's no small feat with a pure black-and-white art style, but every page of this comic oozes a spooky, gloomy energy. I absolutely adore it and will now have to catch up and keep up with the webcomic!

Well this was an absolute delight of a read! The art style is incredible, the fey lore of the world and combination of modern and creature like beings was great to look at.

Tyto and Vulpine were two incredibly fun main characters to get to know, I greatly anticipate future shenanigans they get into, and all the side characters were a delight! The diversity and represention is also marvellous, especially (for me) having two asexual main characters!!

Whimsical and surprisingly complex and an experience I can recommend all read either for free online or by purchasing a hard copy!
