Cuckoos Three by Mosskat
4.0
Thank you to Yen Press for my digital advanced review copy!
I am a simple person. I see that Cassandra Jean drew something, therefore I must appreciate the art. I wasn't let down in that regard with Cuckoos Three. It was as beautifully drawn as always. It's also full colour, and the colour palette was beautiful, too. Very atmospheric without being super detailed.
Neither Cassandra nor Mosskat have Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), or are trained in psychology, so it's understandable that the story was very surface level in regards to DID. However, the depiction of DID (to me, who also has no background in psychology) was not a negative or harmful one. It was explained well, I think, in a way that wasn't overly complex and would probably be beneficial to the greater public. I consider it in the vein of something like the Disney adaptation of Marvel's Moon Knight. Happy to see more media discussing why people have disorders like DID in an open fashion.
As someone who spent a significant portion of their youth in a rural environment, the depiction of the setting also was good.
Overall, good. Pretty good. I just wish there was *more*, for lack of a better explanation. More build-up. More character building. More relationship discussions. Still, good, and I recommend it.
