Thank you NetGalley and AfterShock Comics for the review copy! I liked the first two parts of this story, but it completely lost me towards the end. (view spoiler)[It's not just the overly sexual stuff but the fact that the last two parts were just confusing af and the ending was just really weird. (hide spoiler)] The art work was really amazing though!

Thanks to NetGalley to give me the opportunity to read this book in exchange of an honest review! The art is really beautiful, but this is selled as something teen and I really think is adult. For the ones that like a pretty dark and bohemian philosophy thing, you can enjoy. Unfurtunately that wasn't the case for me. I admit, the art is something that talks with feelings, I really admire this, but this wasn't enough for me to like it.
