This was a fantastic story and beautifully illustrated, its a bit darker and more.. real than anticipated. There are definitely real-world issues touched on (more than touched on) within the pages alongside the more fantastical or mythological elements that we see pay throughout the story.
I, honestly, look for any opportunity to engage with stories and myths from a variety of cultures that I have never heard of or have only seen glimpses of. This would be kind of like a retelling of one of those. It has the feel, it has the shock factor in some places and while it was not what I expected, it made me crave more.

An absolutely beautiful graphic novel adaptation of a classic work of indigenous American literature.

I enjoyed the story and usually enjoyed the illustrations. The pictures were sometimes a distraction though. Particularly when I could see the nipples of women through what appears to be leather clothing. How is that happening? Anyway, the young women seem to be in the illustrations often as eye candy, but that may just be me. Also, it was hard to distinguish who was who sometimes in the illustrations because many of the men's faces looked alike.

Complex adventure story told well. Has the feel of legend or old tale. Frequently wordless.

A well-constructed story based on Abenaki legends gathered from research and oral tradition: two cousins and their struggles as one is chosen, and the other is cursed.

I love the art style, but it was occasionally difficult to tell characters apart.

I thought this story was beautiful, but due to the heavy reliance on gray scale illustrations, hard to access.
