I didn't enjoy this and wouldn't really recommend it to people. I think the concept is cool but the dialogue was clunky and pretty shallow. All the characters were really underdeveloped and felt very two-dimensional. The main character Remina does nothing and has no agency. One of the other reviews described her as a doll that things just happened to as she got passed from one person to the next, which was a really accurate description. Another said they really liked it as a metaphor or an inverse to the planet, which is interesting but still annoying to read in the novel. Some of the scenes from one to the next felt very abrupt and like they just happened to make the story do what it needed to rather than making sense for the context. The hooded figures were really creepy which was great. His art style is really good but I'd definitely read some of his other stuff instead of this one.
