Once upon a time....
Once I got into the story and understand its a tale designed 'never to be transferred onto a screen' (TV or Movie) then this captivating tale pulled me into its world like the novel at the centre of our Romeo and Juliet parents love life.
Told in a 'when I was young' reminiscent style story it has many many characters, situations and a whole bunch of future fantasy mixed circumstances that very much strikes a cord with the modern reader.
I found it very enthralling to see these alien creatures using our own language to illustrate how crazy our own world has become... words like 'enemy combatant' and all that new age of vocabulary that goes along with the war on terror allowed me to empathise with these unique characters and there very adult situation (while still leaving room for some much needed giggles).
It is a rare book indeed when one of the main characters find itself in danger and I let out an audible "oh no' and found myself scurrying for the next issue... thank the heavens I didn't have to wait a month for the next issue but it did highlight my love for this book.
Well done Saga Peoples.... and long live Lying Cat !!
