The beautiful geometric shapes of the ships in this story are really the highlight. Even the weird maps of the strange island aren’t as impressive as the ships. However, the captions – which really tell the story, because the art doesn’t help at all – are entirely forgettable and more often than not blend into the background. Who puts a blue caption box next to blue skies and sea?
