Striking art in black and red, unfortunately the story didn't work for me... The references to the mythology aren't integrated well to the plotline. It's actually hard to make sense of this graphic novel: the plot itself, but also the message the author wanted to pass on.

Visually stunning. Fior is an incredible cartoonist. Loved the duo tone style, heavy on the red and white with black detail. The panel layouts are base 6 for the most part, with a ton of cool 4 panel grids thrown in as well.
The story is a cool retelling of Daedalus, Icarus and the Labyrinth with another narrative of a woman dealing with her partner being obsessed with the idea of the Labyrinth. A bit abstract at times, but an overall good time

I love Fior's artwork so very very much (even if I do not always understand one hundred percent what is going on in the storylines...)

- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Had some difficulty understanding what some of the panels were showing. Also, not sure what the point was? Like, why?

The use of a limited pallete is amazing. The story moves on at an engaging clip. What does it all "mean", beyond the invocations of the myths we've all heard before? I have ZERO IDEA.
