I really liked the artwork and the spirit of this one. I can't say I followed it 100% because some of the panels were pretty abstract. I'm curious enough to continue the story. ( )

A graphic novel about a doll named Orio and her familiar Bauble. Usually it's the doll that picks it's familiar, but this time it's the familiar that picks the doll...

What an odd graphic novel, I really wanted to like it and I was in the beginning intrigued about the story then just the story became a bit confusing. Orio is suppose to find herself an occupation, but Bauble ruins it for her all the time and then something else shows up in the Clockword city.

I actually found the ending a bit confusing so I reread it on the computer after reading the graphic novel on the iPad and the story did make much more sense on the computer. But I still feel that this story is really odd.

But the art was really good and I would like to read more about Orio and Bauble.

I received this copy from the publisher through Netgalley in return for an honest review!

The story is about a girl with an evil stuffed cat. The only thing I like about thing book was the art. The story is something from a Japanese anime. In an anime you would at least like the stuffed cat. In this story the girl would be better off without the evil thing. I'm a cat person but that thing is not worth keeping.

I read this book via Netgalley. I thank them for this book. #NetGalley ( )

Stunning art, fascinating blend of world-building and allusion, plenty of mystery and action. I am hooked. ( )

Lovely. Mysterious. I enjoy not having everything spelled out (or drawn out) for me, but I was left with lots of questions. On to the book 2! ( )
