It started off strong, and I really enjoyed the first 40% or so, which had a lot of hilarious moments. However, it became a bit repetitive as the story progressed, and the ending felt predictable. Overall, it was an alright read.

As a fan of libraries and fantasy, I was excited to read this book, but the experience wasn't as great as what I hoped for. The book starts off messy, with some confusion about who the main character is.
Early on, not much happens. It’s mostly exposition and world building, but it’s not executed well, making it feel like an info dump. It only really finds its stride and picks up pace later on. But by the end, you're left wanting more.
I feel like that intruige would be over by the next volume. This is a decent start for a new series, but it doesn’t leave you feeling satisfied with just this volume.
Thank you NetGalley for the advanced review copy of this book.

This was a straightforward read. It wasn’t particularly angsty, and there weren't too many conflicts in the present timeline.
The artwork wasn’t particularly impressive, but the shading was visually pleasing and made things easy to follow.
The story itself was a mixed bag. Some parts were really enjoyable, but others felt kind of meh. I wasn’t fully convinced by the backstory and the eventual resolution. It felt like the past issues resolved way too easily.
Despite these flaws, it’s an okay read if you’re looking for something positive, simple and overall warm.

Received this book as an advanced review copy from Fantagraphics through NetGalley.
The book doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it was a good read. The classic feeling of impending doom when reading dystopia is there.
The flow of the book is smooth, and there is enough intrigue to keep you reading. I loved the wacky art, and the consequences of unchecked fascism are shown well. (Also, I loved that reference to a certain Jim Carrey movie I love)
If you already read a lot of dystopia, it might feel a bit uninspired. But if you are new to the genre, you’ll appreciate how accessible and easy to read it is. Overall, an easy recommendation from me.
