The art! Is very well done, and there's some cool style shifts to reference different media (Tim Burton style, Hungry caterpillar, old comic cover illustration style to name a few) and it's done in a way thats not jarring. Five stars for art.

The story was clear and easy to follow, but with uneven pacing. Also Nora was a bit tooo quirky at first and Victor too possessive. Three stars for story, it was just okay

Sympa mais sans plus. La romance est un peu rapide et on s’attache pas énormément aux personnages. Je connaissais l’histoire de Mr. Freeze déjà donc je savais comment ça allait se terminer. Je pense que l’âge des protagonistes n’a pas joué  leur faveur. Par contre j’ai bien aimé la discussion sur la mort, le deuil. Mais aussi les différences de couleurs quand les deux protagonistes sont chacun dans « leur monde »

My least favorite of the DC Young Adult graphic novels so far. It was very Romeo and Juliet-esque, but didn't have me actually caring that much about the characters.

There's nothing like structurally wrong with the story from a structural standpoint--it's interesting and the characters are well-developed--and the art is nice. I just...struggle with the relationship of Victor and Nora. I usually find Mr. Freeze's origin story sympathetic, but the characters here are just...really young and their relationship develops VERY fast and it felt like Victor was just super pushy with his cure. I also am not a fan of "I am going to kill myself become of a terminal illness" as a storyline. I don't know, it's not a bad book, just not one that I was particularly fond of.

I did really like the art here though. I thought that was very well done.
