Jul 27, 2022So far, this story isn’t as amazing as Erased, but that’s a high bar to set, and it's possible that now I know to expect a twist that was fresh when I read Erased. The twist in this brings a bad person into the mix immediately, so there's a lot more tension right at the beginning that will keep readers engaged. Sanbe does a lot of great character work and builds a foundation in this volume that is already beginning to pay off. Most readers will be drawn in by these two young kids who have a really hard life, and their separation provides heightened anxiety that drives the narrative forward. Read Full Review
