mmm... I feel like... this was good, but I didn't really care about it that much...? Like... I guess normally what I love about KSD's stuff is how character-driven it is, and since these characters are mostly Western/mythology/whatever archetypes, there wasn't a lot for me to grab onto. The art is beautiful, though, and there are also some beautiful turns of phrase, but ultimately not my cup of tea?

I think it would also benefit from re-reading, but I'm not sure I care enough to re-read it.

But if you like this kind of thing, this is probably a thing that you would like.
