Also, while there may be some foreseeable plot points, my only issue was that it felt rushed at points and the ending caught me off guard because I wasn't entirely expecting it. My only issues which make me kind of lean towards a 4 (though I adored this graphic novel a lot) was the fact that the panels do jump very quickly from scene to scene, so there were multiple times I had to reread pages because the pacing was very quick. There's a nice mix of political intrigue and dark moments while its got a very light-hearted feel to it overall! Its just such a fun story that layers in themes of friendship, conspiracy, adventure, and lots more! Its nice to see what seems to be an ensemble cast, so there's always a new character to learn about! Ying's art is both lively and captivating, that's what originally drew me to this graphic novel and it will not disappoint! Although for me it felt like at some points the paneling cut rather quickly to the following scenes, each page was like a work of art. The art is magnificent, almost cinematic with how quickly the pages fly by! Its use of a warm, almost cozy fall color palette bring a sense of wonder as you immerse yourself in this fascinating world. We learn a mysterious guild of assassins are trying to get rid of Ever and uncover the secrets of the building! There's a lot of mystery and while some of the major plot points come at you quickly, your left shrouded in secrecy as to what could possibly be in the safe!! Hannah is the daughter of the building's owner and is prone to adventure, when she learns of Ever, though he's hesitant at first, the two slowly build a lovely friendship! That was another one of my favorite parts of the story, just seeing it develop over the course of the book!! Right away what makes this world standout is the heavy steampunk elements with gears, mechanisms, and introducing a world divided by levels! This was such a fast-paced and cinematic graphic novel! I loved the main characters, learning about the mechanical city of Oskar and all the mystery envelops this vibrant world!Įver is an orphan who lost his father and now lives alone traversing the depths of the city's renowned Switchboard Operating Facility, managing the levers/mechanisms of the building, and protects a rather elusive safe hidden within its depths.
