My Review:
5/5
This is like watching an anime, the artwork and coloring quality are super pro. The light effects are amazing. This volume sets up the world, great world-building, the main character's origin story, and explains the incident that led his grandfather to exile.
There is the mystery of energy and different powers. Also the necessity of energy. The town has a symbiotic existence with turtles and that makes the world unique. Although the main character looks as selfish as his grandfather his journey has just begun and I am certain there will be character growth. Ends with him leaving in search of his grandfather.
The accident is a little violent (burned legs) but it's not about being depressed about it, it's about fixing things later.
Thank you Netgalley and Publisher for this e-Arc.
