Yet another AU of "Alice in Wonderland", although I didn't find that info to be necessary, as there are barely any similarities.
I mostly fell for the artstyle from the first chapter on, and continued because of that. (The character designs, the colors, everything of it!)
Not that the story is bad or anything, quite the opposite, it's just that I was too in love with the art to even care whether or not I might dislike the story. (Which I didn't, by the way.)
I did dislike the protagonist in the end, or, well, at least didn't like her much. I just can't stand the overpowered protagonist trope.
My favorite character is probably Adra, although I was a bit annoyed by her at the beginning. But I related to her the most, as well as Wallace, kind of.
It was nice exploring the world and solving mysteries together with the protagonist. You're thrown into a whole 'nother world where apparently every other character knows what's going on, except you (and the protagonist). Which can be frustrating but is mostly fun for me, as I love coming up with theories. Some of my theories came true, which was cool, some didn't, which was interesting.
I'm mostly recommending it for the art, ngl, but if you're in for some queer fantasy with lots of mystery, you should totally read it too.
