I feel like this story was rushed. There is not enough backstory about the main characters. The societies of "The Marked" or "The Stargate." aren't even given a history either. I couldn't even understand why other characters were introduced towards the end, when all they were going to do was die. The characters could have united as one to defeat the dark forces. It would have been a better strategy instead. The magic is used by creating art that has the power to take action. It is called "Hybrid Magic." Also how can a weapon develop into an unrecognizable, more powerful one so quickly? No one even seems to notice how possesive that weapon was on Liza's mind. How do the people around her not notice that Liza's personality changes after being given that weapon. Only one character noticed and mentioned it, but received no reply. There is just so much information, and detail that is missing from this graphic novel.

If they wanted me to give a shit about Liza they missed by a huge margin. That said this is an amazing story!!

This series is kind of meh. Too many characters that I cared nothing about. I read this as it came out and honestly I couldn't even tell you any of their names.

His other series that's also currently being published, Sonata, is way better - though completely unrelated.

It was confusing most of the way through, but I didn't exactly hate it I guess. The ending was terrible though. So many cliches and they were trying to make us care about stuff that hadn't been developed at all in the story
