Curious microbiologist outside of academia working to make it possible to launch biotechnology projects from unlikely spaces (hopefully community driven!). Reading sci-fi since I was little (probably started with Monica Hughes) and I try to mix it up with some non-fiction too.

Fun mystery and cool art, but not particularly resonate

I both love and hate the art style. It's expressive and dreamy, but sometimes hard to parse. The powers are very interesting but I don't know if I get a lot of lasting understanding about characters save for Henry and Meru. The story ends with a funny sort of (forced) moral about the importance of dyads... which I'm not sure I am convinced of. Found out about this via SU&SD's review of the board game and maybe I'll like that game better?
