...a glorious and revelatory fable, beautiful in its grief.
...the intriguing, poignant fable unfolds beautifully in both words and pictures. The fluidity of the art reflects Pedrosa’s roots in animation, and the high-contrast shading effectively underscores the tension and emotion of the narrative... adark, well crafted tale.
