Sadly, the story itself was extremely confusing to me and I found it very hard to follow it. I'm not that great with Graphic Novels to begin with, so I don't 100% fault the series, but I had a hard time trying to understand what was happening and who these people were. The worldbuilding itself felt great but I was given no time to try and understand it and the weird and long history lessons in between only helped to a certain degree. I was also left feeling emotionally unattached to the characters (which was probably because I literally forgot every single name and had a hard time assigning faces to things that were happening).
It did intrigue me enough to continue on, though, so...goal achieved?

I came for the art, and stayed for the dark and gripping story which addresses the horrors of conflict and those stuck in between in a eerily fascinating fantasy world.
