Can we just stare in awe at how pretty this little book is? It's such a short story, but every single page is a work of art, absolutely exquisite.

Now if I'm being honest, the artwork is the selling point of this short story. You can see it straight off the cover. It's gorgeous. In comparison, the plot falls a little flat, but not flat enough that it became unmemorable. Its been a while since I read this, and I still remember a fair amount.

Overall, I think I enjoyed this, and the premise was unique, even though I think things moved a little fast at times. I am also uncertain what to make of the love interest our main character ends up with, but I did love his - and everyone else's - character designs.

I don't have much to say on this one, and I'm not sure I had many things to say about it back when I first read it, but that pretty cover had been staring at me for a while, so I'm glad I finally read it and it was a decent length.
