Anya's life and feelings are so relatable and so easy to be drawn into here, from the very beginning. Even knowing in bits (just from the blurb/summary) what might be coming, there were some surprising twists. . . And definitely some surprises taking off from there!
The gorgeous art style and grey/blue-scale suited the story so very well, and small shifts were used beautifully to signify or alert the reader to things.
While Anya may not always have made the smartest choices - who does? - she never lost that relatable feeling, or indeed stopped being a lovable character.
I might have liked a little more of a wrap-up/follow on from where we were left the end, but it did resolve things satisfactorily, it didn't feel like I was left hanging. I was just curious how things might change/continue from there for Anya.
