The story is fun, but the art is hit or miss for me. Sometimes it works really well for a scene, but other times I wish that the artist would put in just a little more detail or clean up the lines for clarity a little bit more. The gestural style is nice for some things, but often times the character expressions are just scribbles, which feels less like a style choice and more like the artist didn't have enough time to actually fine-tune the drawings. There are pages/panels that are really stunning, which is why the ones that detract from that are so disappointing. The story itself is pretty predictable so far, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I hope that the next books do a little more to differentiate themselves from basically being a Mass Effect AU.
