A really incredible world with a fascinating magic system, and an intriguing and complex main character. I’m looking forward to diving into the next installment!

This was a good graphic novel with a very interesting plot! I really liked the artwork and it really got me into the story and the world. I liked that magic strength was based on the length of hair. The characters were good and well rounded. There is also some trans representation which was unexpected and done really well! We get a hint of something going on with the Kingdom and a possible rebellion. I'd be interested to see where this story goes.

4.5 - This was a great first book in a series (duology?) but it does feel very much like a first book in a series. That's not a bad thing (again its pretty close to a 5 star) and while the whole story was wonderful it felt like a lot of set up that will pay off later. I really liked the characters & the art style and hope to get to volume 2 soon.

What do you don when forced to join something you hate? How do you find yourself while you are on the run? How do you get rid of a talking crow?

Was suggested to me by the awesome people at the Comics Dungeon in Seattle. Loved it.

The art is amazing. The world is a mix of high fantasy magic with a Japanese flavor.
