The art in this is stunning! I find the characters lovable but the nuances of the plot were hard to grasp for me at points. I feel like there is a lot of underlying meaning that completely went over my head and overall I enjoyed this more from an artistic perspective than a literary one. The whole feeling I got while reading this was “dark whimsical fairytale“. Another word I would describe this story with is “weird“ - it is certainly not for everybody but it made me like it more.
A word I would NOT use to describe this book is “cozy“. There is a scene where a character gets beheaded with an axe in front of a child, so I would not call this a cozy read, just in case anyone was thinking that. 

Even though I enjoyed reading this, I‘m not sure if I will continue on with the series because the actual plot didn‘t really intrigue me. I can see myself rereading the first book for the art and whimsy though.
