Beautiful artwork, but WAY verbose and scattered. You can feel the author's ego and pretentiousness throughout. This book is a victim of "show, don't tell."

Beautiful illustration, especially the second story. The men shifting from crows and back was amazing. There is an odd division to me in the transition between stories 2 & 3 when the point of view shifts. I preferred the mother's point of view, but I understand why the book was done how it is. Also, I know I shouldn't ask, but I want to know, what happened to the older girl?

The author’s attempts at profundity on every page were so tired and ridiculous. The writing is really clunky (not often that I criticize the writing in graphic novels). The vignettes are all really boring. Just an all around no for me.
