Black Leopard, Red Wolf is a pretty engaging fantasy work with enough mystery interwoven into the narrative to keep one interested. It's nonlinear storytelling and unique perspective makes it a breath of fresh air to the genre that, at times, can make for a jumbled experience. Its graphic depictions of sex can be uncomfortable, but its world and mythos makes it something to behold.
