loved the novel version and im not sure that this holds up. the art style is SO compelling (if not a little inconsistent with size and perspective) but i couldnt get past the vast majority of the text being pasted journal entries. it worked in the novel but bored me in the graphic novel version- i loved the moments that didnt rely on the journals and had dialogue or visuals to tell the story. overall a good refresh before i read the novel’s sequel but i dont know that ill come back to this version.
