Nuanced and uncompromising in its portrayal of trauma after discrimination, it still serves as a cute and heartfelt fantasy adventure with lovely character building and a mature narrative.

Be aware that there is non-consensual experimentation, unhealthy coping mechanisms for rage, and the guilt over disabling a loved one.

This story was a delight to explore, and ND Stevenson's art and storytelling is fun and unique. Nimoma and Ballister's friendship truly carry this story, and seeing their relationship grow is lovely. They're both funny and witty, but also just very hurt people who learn to find comfort in one another's friendship. The story does end on a bittersweet note, but doesn't leave you without hope either. I only wish there was more to read!

A sweet tale about a shape shifter kid who's had some rough times growing up and has become a villain sidekick.. Turns out there villain has a lot of ethics though and the "good guys" called the institution might not.. Where heros fall in love but end up in different sides and the kid has all the biggest powers it's a wild and adventures ride.  While cartoony and light in mode, said happens and could have triggers for some folks
