The universe and lore that are slowly unveiled are simply fascinating. I can't wait to discover more of this world's customs, orders, and countries! And, of course, learn more about the Sleepless' order and how its knights manage to not sleep for years, apparently face the consequences, but never die of sleep deprivation. So far, this is a great comic. Let's hope it keeps delivering!
Gorgeous artwork, and it looks like there's a lot of richness in this world that's slowly unfolding. I'm hoping we'll get more about the different mythologies of the various nations in the story, the time vs. stars thing alluded to in this issue could be really interesting.
Read this if you like: graphic novels, warriors who don't need sleep, illegitimate princesses, faraway lands, beautifully patterned textiles (!), court intrigues, assassination attempts, seers
Love the art and characters. The "political intrigue" is pretty light, but complicated enough for middle school age. I like how this was only two volumes and doesn't continue on forever just to milk it.
