Spooky and beautiful. Wonderful artwork with really fantastic feminist, mystic worldbuilding going on. My only complaint is that the story relies a little too heavily on thoughts and voiceover for a graphic novel, in my opinion. The relationship between the two main characters is warm and intense, with believable conflict and resolution.
