1, Ang ganda ng art nito.
2, Intriguing yung premise, love the fact na historical siya, at tungkol pa kina Elias at Salome. Ito ba yung Elias at Salome ni Rizal?
3, Inedit ni Adam David 'yung narrative. Cool.
4, Medyo iffy ako sa language na ginagamit ng mga characters actually. Not sure how this plays out with the timeline it's set in pero: most probably kasi maraming taong nag-Eespanyol nung panahong 'yon and it's not like maiintindihan ko pag nag-Espanyol nga sila. I'm pretty sure may Tagalog at slang naman sila. I actually have little to no idea how ordinary people spoke during those times, bilang yung mga nobela etc. nasulat non eh sinulat ng mga gaya ni Rizal na edukado naman.
5, Will read the next volume soon.

The painterly style that runs through the book is exquisite, but it suffers from a shaky setup. I think the biggest hurdle for me has been trying to pinpoint the tone of the story, whether I should expect some of the cartoonish reaction shots that sharply deviate from its portentous mode.
