It takes a special sort of talent to flesh out an engaging, well-rounded story in just 84 pages. I would’ve preferred this to be slightly longer to expand on the world, characters, and parts of the storyline that were glossed over, but it’s still great the way it is.
His characterization of our main character, Tutu, was very well done. Following such a young main character put an interestingly middle grade spin on what’s otherwise very much adult content.
I’ll definitely read the sequel at some point. Hopefully Utomi writes a full-length novel at some point because his writing is excellent.
