2.0

 I really wanted to like this book.  And basically I did like the story line. However this is a graphic novel and the illustrations play a very large part of this story.  The amount of gratuitous nudity, and the misogyny was disgusting.  I had book 2 but I could not bring myself to read it because I was so disappointed in book 1.  Most of the nudity was not needed.  The one character grabbing the female characters breasts and complaining that they are not equal size (on two different sisters, not on one body) was horrid and uncalled for.  This book was  like a teenaged wet dream.  This series has twenty-something books, and I hope for readers' sake, the misogyny stopped at book 1.
