fridge_brilliance 's review for:
Paris
by Andi Watson
I can’t say I clicked with this one, and it’s equally on art and storytelling.
The art style was painfully busy and dense; some people might enjoy the experience of looking at a page for a long minute just to understand what to pay attention to, but to me it felt like an artsy version of Where’s Waldo: business for the sake of aesthetics that undercuts the narrative clarity.
And then the story: it’s three quarters vibes, which was fine for establishing Paris scene, but hardly adequate to develop and conclude a conflict. An abrupt conclusion didn’t help the matters either, so it’s more vibes and art references… it seemed like not enough information narratively and too much visually.
Thanks to Netgalley for an ARC of Paris.
