elisquared's review against another edition
3.0
I’ll definitely pick up the other volumes, if my library has them. I think the first four issues were intriguing enough to catch my interest, but not so great that I’m rushing out. I think the characters, especially the main character Amarosa, needed to be fleshed out. Also, while I understand it’s a kind of mystery I need to know what disease her brother has exactly. Just some things that are a little rough, that hopefully gets better in the next volume.

I want to like this more than I actually do and am hovering at giving it 4 stars, but I'm sticking to 3. The protagonist Amarosa has gone before a council/jury to "win" the right to go into the Well - a place of doors leading to challenges. Victory leads to another door/challenge, failure leads to Hell (& death? It's sort of unclear). She's doing this for her brother who is dying of cancer; presumably success will result in his cure, but again it's unclear. I liked the first challenge the best.

Meh. The story sounded cool but the execution was lacking. Spelling/grammar errors and some repetitive conversations took me out of the story, and I felt like all the "battles" were way to simple and easy, just there to move the story along but didn't help anyone grow. I liked Amarosa, but I didn't really get to know her very well.
