Amazon says this has 200 pages but both the book itself and Goodreads tell me it's only 56 pages... It ends way too abruptly so... yeah... Idk...

Such beautiful, beautiful art. Immense and detailed backgrounds, filled interesting characters and creatures. The story sometimes just jumped shad to points, but otherwise it was quite immersive. Cannot rave enough about the art though, truly showcasing how gorgeous European comics can be.

I am very impressed with the storyline and artwork on this one.

Poor Yama has a hard road ahead of her but she is a tough little birdie.


Such an old schools art - where artists stick to panel and format

Interesting start to a story. Yama is a headstrong young girl and I'm interested to see how she gross in the later volumes... The artwork is devine and you immediately know that you are in a whole new world very impressed!

I really liked the artstyle, especially for the surroundings and the setting was really interesting in general. It was very short and I don't really care much about the characters and the story. But since this only has four volumes and they are all on Kindle Unlimited I think I will continue reading this series, I think it is worth it just for the stunning art.

This was very much the start of the series and it's only about 70 pages so I don't really know whether this series will end up being great or a mashup of fantasy tropes, only time (and the other 3 books in the series) will tell. It's a promising start though. I like the art, the characters are a bit 2D at the moment, we'll see how that develops as the series goes on.

3.5 stars for this. I love the artwork and the creatures in it but even though the story has good elements I found it a little 2D at times, I am still curious to see how it ends all the same.

It looks as if it‘s done with coloured pencils and watercolour. The forrest animals are incredibly cute. And the landscapes are also really nice to look at...

Coming of age, maybe the end of the world as they know it, revenge and a quest... completely open end, so I will very likely continue with the next volume straight away.

The story is good so far, although not terrible original or mysterious. I think it‘s a pretty safe bet to say that we will look at a happy end at the end of whatever volume this story arc takes us.
