The content was fine, a good introduction to 17th century philosophy. The art was nice but in a style I'm not a fan of personally. I'm quite picky with graphic novels so this is really on me. Mostly I felt that the way the content of the book was presented was super jerky and difficult for me to read. I appreciate that it's quite fun to show how the lives of these philosophers cross over, to put things into perspective, but I don't think many of the transitions were very well executed. As well as this, I feel like heresy as an overarching theme was often shoehorned in just so the title continued to make sense, and so they could have something to tie all these people together (and keep doing those clunky transitions). A lot of straw-grasping in this sense imo. Not a bad book, but not for me.
