I didn't realise it was magical realism, so that made it tense and confusing for a bit (it also didn't help that the explantation of these elements wasn’t clearly explained). the characters and their journeys and the mystery element of it really keep you going. You really do grow to love these characters though. 
The art style and color choices are beautiful. 
I could see myself coming back to this book when im having a tough time.

I really enjoyed reading this graphic novel! Right from the beginning it got me interested and it delivered! I got through it very quickly though(about 30 minutes to be exact), I don’t really mind that but other people might. The end felt a little too rushed to me though! I felt like it would have been wrapped up a little better if there was a little more explaining done

cause those road inquiry guys were really weird and then with the car crashing, and the road suddenly appearing? To me it didn’t get explained and let me kind of wondering.

other than that, amazing book!

Hmmm… I think there were too few answers for me by the end of this one, but the style is beautiful, and the emotions were really powerful.
