This series weaves together a complex narrative in a way that never crossed into overwhelming. Information is spread across different timelines and the reveals always came when they feel right and rewarding to figure out. It's exciting to find out the relevance of actions and words in previous chapters as you learn more about the past and the future alike.
The cast of characters have heaps of messy personality. None are perfect people and don't pretend to be, opening up room for growth throughout the story. You can then see that growth reflected back towards the end, drawing the story to a satisfying conclusion.
The artwork throughout is clean and detailed. The different time periods show great variety in architecture and even the colour schemes. From the character designs to the variety of technology, there's a lot to love throughout.
There was also a point where timelines split that was shown in the formatting of the pages which I found really cool. A really creative and fun use of the format.
Overall, this series tells a complex story with themes a lot of people can relate to told in a larger than life way. Though the story can seem a little complicated at first, it's worth sticking through and seeing it to the end. I think I definitely made the right choice in buying the full collection edition.
