Ratings and reviews

A lot of stories try to give off a dark feel but monstress does it like none other. Truly a refreshing read from all the reboots that's going on nowadays.

Beautiful Artwork & a GR8 Storyline(DEFINITELY in my Top5) with a Spawn-like Flavor of Dark Graphics & Personal Angst that Brilliantly Captures the Conflict between Arcanics & Cumaeans; a Must Read Escape from These Racially Charged Times!! 10 THUMBS UPP 👍¹⁰

Dark themes, beautiful artwork, steampunk. Through the chapters, you learn of Maika's struggles with revenge, learning who to trust, and survival in a cruel world. The story also paints (literally and figuratively) a complex picture of survival, common interactions and politics between supernatural beings, humans, and individuals who seem to fall into both of these categories. A bit violent at times, but appropriate to the story.
