4.0

This volume falls victim to the same issues that I had with the first. The story is told in very small snapshot-style scenes, with a lot of illustrations and a page or two of monologue between scenes. Now, the scenes themselves are lovely. Full of casual romantic intimacy (intimacy as in closeness not [spice]) and are so lovingly drawn. The art, yet again, is beautiful. I hope this series slowly leans a little more towards the story side instead of being 1/4 story and 3/4 illustration.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!
