dark mysterious sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.75

This was a cool start to the series. The art work is amazing, and there are a ton of cool characters. But very very heavy themes and storylines. 24 hours is incredibly dark and gory and I was not prepared. I would check all content warnings.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Suicide

Moderate: Violence and Blood

Minor: Child death

In ‘24 hours’ there is a scene in which a character instruct the audience to commit suicide. There is also a brief instance of a baby’s death in Sound of her Wings. Violence, blood and gore are pretty consistent throughout the volume.
