I hate to say this, but... I have to give this 3.5 stars. I liked it, and the art was great, but I didn't connect with the story or characters at all. There were a lot of places where I felt like I missed something or I wasn't understanding something I should've been; and there were a few scenes I think should've felt more impactful or epic, but just fell flat for me. And the ending was just kind of... an ending? Idk, maybe I'm just not a graphic novel person. It was a fast, pretty enjoyable read, but I felt like I didn't get to fully experience the story or get to know the characters very well, which makes me sad. :(
