Wow! The story, the characters, and the illustration style were so dark and I couldn't stop reading until it finished. The story and the illustrations grabbed me so tight. So different with I usually read but I am so glad I read this graphic novel.
This book perfectly blended history, culture, mystic, horror, and even romance into solid storyline. The plots were also so well delivered. Though there were some plot holes and unanswered questions, the story was so good from the beginning until the end.
I personally liked the ending. It was unavoidable. Unfair for some characters but completely make sense. Realistic even.
The characters were so unlikeable but I still root for them. They were weirdly realistic though I never wish any kids in this world experience what underage characters in this book went through. They were only kids for f sake but they went to hell and back. It was honestly hard for me to read their scenes. I know that back then life was freaking hard and kids matured quickly, yet my heart broken for them.
Thank you to Zhang Xiaoyu, Oni Press, Magnetic Press, and NetGalley for the ARC.
