A preface: Future me just tapped on the shoulder to remind me that I'd like to revisit my year in books in 2026 and remind myself why I read the things I read and what I thought of them at the time. I will be sure to discuss them with someone, at some point, so let this be a memory exercise if nothing else. 

I bought the trilogy at Thought Bubble 2024 and was actually very jazzed to meet and have a lovely conversation with the writer. It's always very encouraging to meet people to have the guts to put their work out there and give it a genuine shot. With that in mind, I'll pull the band aid off instantly and say that the different artists have done a world of good to writing that is still trying to find its feet. I also feel that the length of each story doesn't really give much space to establish the mythology and to build a proper world which is where the art has really stepped up but even that comes at the cost of slightly busy pages. It very much feels like a work in progress which is no bad thing. I enjoyed reading the first instalment and would like to see where it takes me next!
