This is a hard one to rate. The art in here is just gorgeous, and the underlying themes of love and freedom are beautiful...but it's all wrapped up in a story that is mostly about non-consensual sex and stereotyping the Middle East.
I had a really mixed reaction to this, but overall all the super rapey and graphic scenes left me with a bad taste in my mouth. The final scene was touching and true to how this started out, but it felt like entirely too much of the story got bogged down in the details of the abuse both protagonists receive (and, man, talk about Nipple City).
