Description
"It's a perfect match for the gorgeous, dizzying artwork in a sumptuous palette-overlaid panels add intricate choreography to fight scenes, and detailed, whirling splash pages beg for long-lingering looks. Couple that, along with a handful of Eisner nominations, with a multicultural cast of tough-as-nails women who all fight for their own honor, and this is a series to watch out for." - Booklist
"It's ambitious and challenging (two qualities that are not often valued, but that probably should be), under a façade of violence and sacrifice. Rio's art is lush and detailed, and is more than capable of keeping up with the far-reaching story." - PW

I really don't know what to do with this. On one hand it was kind of confusing, the story was hard to follow and I'm still not sure if I really get it. It was also really brutal and dark but at the same time also beautiful, unique and hard to put down. I haven't read anything like it before and even though I am not sure about the story the art itself is already worth reading it. 3,5/5*
