Lila Danisa
While the premises were promising, the story wasn't delivered well enough I am afraid.
The storyline was confusing. I usually don't mind with back-forward timeline, but in this book, those back-forward left many plot holes and made me so confused with the story. Worst of all, for me at least, was the ending. The ending was there but there was no explanations on how the ending ended like that.
I also found it difficult to like the characters. They were just there without any significant arc. Even Sango/Eben, the main character, had no redeeming qualities.
The illustrations were so good though. Full of details and helped the story a lot. The illustrations also gave the perfect vibe for the theme of this book.
Thank you to Shobo, Shof, BOOM! Studios, and NetGalley for the ARC.
P.S. Shout-out to Ms. Alya Kronsberg, the Marketing Manager of BOOM! Studios who so helpful to me getting another copy of this book even though it was my fault not to download the e-ARC on-time on NetGalley.
