NetGalley and the publisher, Magnetic Press and Diamond Book Distributors, provided me a review copy.

Small World is pretty much Spanish cyberpunk Peter Pan with a heavy manga influence that floats between social commentary, cutesy comics, and heavy darkness, such as poverty, classism, child drug addiction, attempted rape, explicit violence, drug-related group psychosis, and more.

It often toes the line between shock horror and telling a moving and compelling story, but I'd argue it does a very good job of doing so. The pacing is probably the weakest point, but there are points where the jarring pacing is playing into the jarring setting quite well.
