This hurts to say but I think the art hindered the story. Sometimes the words would refer to a visual that wasn't there, like the bronze ring Chioma says is still on her dismembered left hand but is never drawn. The scene would have been a lot more powerful had words and images matched, instead I was looking for the ring that wasn't there and that was never drawn. Shortly after the part about the ring it talks about a woman with red orange beads in her braids but the artist draws the girl with red orange hair. Again this would have been a much more powerful scene had images and words matched but instead of being in the scene I'm taken out of the narrative flow wondering if the artist looked at the words.
Some aspects of the art was good in that I felt the urgency of some scenes. Some pages were hard to look at and now as I flip back to check on something I realize that Chioma's hair style has been drawn inconsistently.
