Monstress Book One by Marjorie M. Liu, Sana Takeda
4.0

This probably deserves five stars, but I didn't like the story or the way it was told. It's a personal preference thing. If you like angst-filled fantasy, then this will be a five-star read for you.

To be clear, the writing is excellent, just not my genre. The worldbuilding of a unique world is especially well done.

The art is gorgeous. Realistic steampunk art deco with Lovecraftian cosmic horrors and anthropomorphic animals thrown in. Sana Takeda is as good at drawing faces as Fiona Staples.
