Wow. Such a powerful book. I felt the anger, sadness, and mystery of this book so acutely. The art was amazing and really gripping. I adored this story.

Only book read this month and it’s my first graphic novel!

Kinda wish I read the novel first but this still was a beautiful read regardless! The art work is beautiful and great job telling/showing the story of those who deal with this cyclical violence on the regular. Would’ve been great to know what happens next though, but guess it’s just left to the reader’s imagination
