At first it was hard for me to read this graphic novel. The illustration style was nothing like I prefer. It was stiff and giving an old style. The writing style was not different. So distant and dense. I needed time to get used to the illustrations and the writing, but the story dragged me in. The storyline was actually so good. About spionage and stuff. The storyline was giving the tension through the middle to almost the end of the story. However, I was kinda disappointed with the ending. I expected clear and grand final in the story. What I got were confusion and open end type of ending. The ending left me with many questions.
Aside of the (me) problems I got from the ending, this graphic novel forced me to explore new illustration and writing styles. Personally it felt rewarding how I could read and eventually enjoyed this book.
Thank you to Maria Hoey, Peter Hoey, IDW Publishing, Top Shelf Productions, and NetGalley for the ARC.
