3.0
(2.5 Stars, rounded up to 3 for the artwork)
This author can clearly write. The dialog is very good. The characters are distinct and well developed. Sure some literary shortcuts are taken with them, but only for the lesser characters. Even the pacing is good. The artwork is very good, and the narrator does a great job.
However, I personally feel like this book is a good example of the sum of its parts being greater than the whole. I loved a lit of the little story segments, but thought the overall story was uninteresting and disconnected, and to be honest, lacking originality. But I really liked everything except the overall arc.
I haven't read anything else by this author, but it really seemed to be very self-indulgent. I'd still give him another try.
