i'm always a sucker for a werewolf book! this was really dynamic and easy to read, which might be a given for a graphic novel, but i think sterle's art skill needs to be recognized in this way. the story itself didn't particularly surprise me, but it was interesting nonetheless. i felt like both creators managed to say a lot with what was on the page, but i wish we had room for so much more. i feel like it was almost there with what it wanted to say about the patriarchy, but other nuanced topics suffered for it, particularly regarding the diversity of the characters represented, imo.
