I want to digest this one a little more before I review it, but briefly: I've never done acid, but I imagine this is what an acid trip would be like, maybe? Surreal doesn't quite cover this story or style, and sometimes the existentialness of it all felt really forced and not as clever as it was making itself out to be.
That said, it was oddly fascinating, the art & coloring (though trippy) was gorgeous, and the characters were pretty engaging, and I find myself looking forward to more from the series.

Nafiza Omg, I have EXACTLY the same sentiments re: acid trip. I felt exactly the same way. Haha


Stephen Newell I can't believe "imagining this is what an acid trip feels like" was such a common descriptor for this book. I thought I was very original with that thought lol
