This was an interesting read, and correct me if I'm wrong, but this seems to represent Polish and/or Slavic folklore, which was nice to see. But it did leave me wondering who or what these people or roles are, especially when knowing that there are dead gods? And they can be eaten? And one can trap a god? And Butwiala especially who I searched and saw nothing about, so is this not written down, local, or an original creation? I do love how she was represented, though, the unnerving face to not recognize her appearance, which makes you wonder more as to why if all gods do have a face, yet she brings a comforting presence. And in this story, it seems to imply that the world is stable but the celestial bodies themself move around the earth, calling themself their own being as well even if the moth giant is one that held them. I could also at least understand the waning power of a Leshy tied to his forest where he gains his power. Narratively, I feel so at awe and confused at the same time, I don't know if we're developing a relationship with Cyrill, or it's casual, it's hard to believe at how quick Lazarus is to love Cyrill, but is it even a romantic kind of love or a caring love such as familial or friendly, like Lazarus grew to care about him but seeing glimpses of Lazarus' past did hurt on how much he disliked himself all for the benefit of others.
I'd also like to say that I love the art, the sprites, the lineless and angular look of the main characters compared to others, such as the cannibals and the witch and how organic they appear. The music was good too, really set the atmosphere for the scenes.
But now what, what is there to know, who are the new characters at the end, what is their relevance, who in the heck is Theo? Overall, I really liked it even if it confused me sometimes, but I sort of got it in the end. 5, 5, 5, 4, 5.
