The writer and illustrator clearly have a complex world in mind, but I found it difficult to follow the plot and relationships, or understand the world. My partner started reading it too, and even discussing the world didn't help clarify. The lecture excerpts from the professor cat were somewhat helpful, but I still wasn't sure what was going on. The illustrations are exquisite, but I will not be reading the subsequent volumes in the series.
