The art, the thematic, the story, the mythology, it's all great and cute, but the pacing felt a bit too fast for my liking and I wish we got to know better the side characters. We did see a little from Serena's character but it wasn't as in depth as I would have loved and especially with the other two girls in the friend group. And I know it's a graphic novel and for the pages it is it would have been hard to do, but maybe if it was more pages of the story instead of the explanatory notes about the creation of the characters by the author at the end, it would have been great. As much as I am an artist and I love that, I wish I could have spent more time with the characters instead. I didn't feel that big of a emotional connection in the big scenes because it all felt so fast paced. I would totally recommend it thought. It's a great fast read.
