Vesper and Corrick’s relationship is so much fun to read, and it’s so much fun to watch other people reacting to their relationship. The artwork isn’t groundbreaking, but it is pretty good throughout. The biggest issue with this graphic novel is that it is so fast paced that it sometimes struggles to hit the emotional beats of the story. The story definitely didn’t go where I was expecting, and that was pleasantly surprising. However, once again the pacing of the story, and what I realised the obvious time and location jumps between issues made it harder to always navigate the story. This was especially true when Vesper and Corrick got separated.

The omnibus was a very quick read but I liked the art and story. The author is also very nice. I bought this because she started talking to me at a con.

This book is great, the art is wonderful, the story is poetic, the characters are fun, believable, and engaging. I feel bad about rating it 4 stars, but I only 5 star rate books that change my life, or that I get obsessed with. I highly recommend you pick it up if you get the chance.

The art is vibrant and each chapter has its own color palette to set the mood. I also enjoyed the character interactions, although some aspects of the plot line were predictable

Enjoyable read with great art. I especially liked the facial expressions and the different moods created by the art and pace. The story was interesting and engaging, even if the power level of the main characters was a bit ridiculous at times which created some distance to the story for me. I also often struggled with understanding characters' actions/motivations and the development of relationships (the additional chapters at the end of the omnibus helped with that though). There was a weird time jump towards the end but otherwise the pacing was great. I did enjoy how much space was given to small moments and I really liked the ending to the story. Bumping it up to a 4 for the art, the end and the additional stuff at the end of the omnibus.
