Briar's Reviews

Maria Llovet's Eros/Psyche is an absolutely beautiful piece of work. This graphic novel uses colour wonderfully, but the style of the illustrations and the story itself didn't hold up well for me. While it was pretty to look at, I struggled to get involved and stay within the story.

Two out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

Very minimalist story with beautiful artwork and colors. The Craft meets Alice in Wonderland meets maybe Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.

I received a galley of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. 

This book has a content warning for suicide.

The idea behind this graphic novel is super interesting to me so I was quite excited to read this. However, it kind of fell flat in its face. Everything in it was just super underdeveloped. I was so confused about what was going on for most of the graphic novel. I didn't have a good sense of who the characters were at all. I didn't really care for their connection because of it and the big twist in the end had 0 impact because I just didn't really care for anything going on. I did quite like the art style though.

Thank you NetGalley for an advanced copy. The artwork in this was beautiful. I enjoyed the color scheme and the eerie vibes. However, it left me feeling confused. I would have enjoyed more context and world building. Maybe issue 2 would help resolve some of my confusion. I like the premise. I just would have enjoyed MORE story.
