The art is good - highly appealing, creative. Some mild inconsistencies with character design or weird anatomy and body positioning (of the human characters, I wouldn't presume as to the fantastical ones.) Rich with details, very nice painting and coloring.
But the writing is really pretty bad. Never thought I'd be saying this about a graphic novel, but it's almost entirely told-and-not-shown exposition. (it's as if the writer hasn't heard of the "show, don't tell" tip for narrative writing.) Characters, magical creatures and devices, and even plot elements show up out of nowhere, or are abruptly semi-resolved. There is very little character development; we know nothing about the characters except random facts that are sometimes divulged as they are introduced, or as some new bit of story is suddenly introduced. Some characters find out they have unexpected family relationships (through yet another fairly boring expository device), but it apparently has little emotional relevance for them, and none for the reader. The reading experience isn't immersive, as the reader is pushed & pulled through the story clumsily and with very poor pacing.
If I could do half-stars, I'd've given it a 2.5.
