  It was promising and there was potential, the universe could really be explored more, but it was really chaotic and tried too be too many things at the same time. And now without the law against the unnatural relationships this universe kinda lost its own unique idea. Like, how's this any different from Zootopia now? It's not a surprise why the sequel was cancelled midway. I think if the story was more focused, it would be better. So, in the end we have the following:
  - As an erotica, all the explicit elements get repetitive after a couple of issues and the focus from this changes to everything else. The dream sequences don't add anything new and from a point almost all the sexually explicit content was limited by them.
  - As a detec tive it barely even tried to be mysterious and complicated. Every mystery is revealed too early.
  - As a gory action it wasn't really focused on that either and it was very limited. One torn off hand, a few blown-up heads, a couple of damaged eyes and several minor injuries. I appreciate that it was used with taste and only when it was needed, but was it really needed then in the first place? Maybe it was kinda pointless to tear that hand off?
  - As a mysterious supernatural story it wasn't that well-thought either. Everything was too simple and repetitive. And I don't think it was elaborated enough.
  - For a political message it was too limited and unfocused either... Was the law bad or was its execution too fascistic and imperfect? Leslie's mother ended up with one of her own kind. Leslie herself would be fine if she wasn't possessed by the wolf and her to-be mate wasn't chasing his own agenda. I don't know, it is indeed a totalitarian dystopia when people in love are sentenced to 5 years or death penalty, but the very idea to help people find a fitting couple might be very powerful with a right execution.
  
  Yeah, to sum up, I think that's what this book is - unfocused. Unnaturally unfocused. But not bad. Again, it sounds like I didn't like it, but it's not true. It's a fine story beatifully illustrated. It's a great read, but I can't imagine myself re-reading it. It's a one-off read. I think there was a potential to be a 10/10 sob story, but in the end instead of getting more close to the characters and caring about them more, you start to care less. I didn't feel the chemistry between Khal and Leslie, but it was obvious they'd end up together and I didn't like how the writer forced it only because it was the right thing to do. The real right thing to do would be to execute it the way it didn't feel forced... But anyway, who cares. It's not like the book will be remembered in 20 years from now. more
