Read through this today and !!! I’m obsessed!! Loved both volumes so much!! The art especially reallly adds to it. Something I especially enjoyed about this volume was what was done with the crane, finch(?), and foxes as all being symbols of something. One panel which especially stuck out to me was ‘you were granted the privilege to hunt birds and cross rivers by red fur and jet black paws’ and the accompanying text and artwork. It just felt like such an interesting take on the military and the ethos there, and Plover’s conflict with it really stuck out to me
Something worth noting too is how well the illustrations work to build suspense and really get you in there. I wanna say part of it is because of the black and white colour palette but just the general style and everything. The way the writing switches too and text can almost envelop whole panels too really adds to it.
You did such a good job and I am very much obsessed with this
