4.0
This book is about Icarus, who falls from the sky and lands in a kind of hellish land. He doesn't remember who is is or why he's there but he has wings, looks completely different to everyone else living there.
Even though the book is named after Icarus the only thing he and the one from greek mythology have in common is the name and that they have wings and fell from the sky. I wished for some kind of retelling, but that is not what this is.
Still I really enjoyed the story. The drawings are really pretty and it's a very interesting world and story. Even though it was a quick read it didn't feel rushed and I liked the characters.
The ending and the way Icarus gets his memories back was a bit strange though. It is only the first book in a series though so I hope some of my questions will be answered in the following volumes. Besides that I really enjoyed it and it was an interesting read!
