I bought and consumed this story with the ravenous excitement of a she-wolf demon on the hunt! Ram's writing style goes down smooth, however some passages are so enjoyable as to be re-read twice or three times over. The illustrations are fun and distinctive tidbits that break up the text nicely.
Readers should keep in mind that this is only the first installment of the story and focuses mainly on worldbuilding and poor Father Basil's inner turmoil. However there's enough blushing, squirming, and un-priestly inner monologue to tide an eager reader over until the next part becomes available!
A lovely beginning! This lays a solid foundation for future fun. Previous knowledge of Ram Lightly's work or characters isn't explicitly necessary, in case you're interested but unsure of if you need to look over previous materials. This is an introduction to Father Basil & Co., so I don't think the reader needs to have devoured Lightly's archive of luscious work beforehand. The writing within this is very tight, focused, and well done. The illustrations within are evocative and lovely (and survived digital formatting; I read via Kindle app). Lightly's exquisite linework back at it again. I'm personally very excited to see where else this tale goes.
a wonderful story, richly imagined and gorgeously illustrated. i’ve been an admirer of ramlightly’s art and characters for a while now, and am so thrilled to have this work for context and my collection. do pick this up if you’re at all interested— you won’t regret it!
