This was definitely an interesting read! I was confused why it felt so unfinished, but then I saw the publisher note that the ARC is only the first 130 pages. It’s hard to fully review something that I did not fully read. But it did leave me wanting to know more and how these women might come to know each other more. It was interesting, however, but the overall tone left me feeling sad and frustrated with the system the main characters were set in. I would be interested in reading the rest of the graphic novel! The art was gorgeous and evocative of so many feelings with little words needed. It is sexually explicit, for those that are sensitive to that content, but it serves to further the story’s realism and reality of the characters lives in this historical setting. I could see how the finished story might tell of feminine rage personified in the main characters, and possibly healing with one another? I’m curious to read more from this author/artist.
Please note that this is a review of what I was able to read, so if I can access the rest, I will return and update this review and rating. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this partial eARC to review! :)
