I want to love this, and it could have been so much better with some small differences, but as it stands it's pretty mediocre.
I love Diathorn's art, and the writing from a prose-standpoint is very good. There are a lot of idioms that are really well-placed. However the story basically ends extremely abruptly. The ending is anti-climactic and completely out of place. The entire story is a flashback, but because it ends before it has even told half the story, it explains absolutely nothing about how Maya got to where she is at the start of the intro.
Really, if it was just a little bit longer, I would have been praising this for being a beautiful self-contained story with good art, writing, and definitely mediocre voice-acting. But the ending is just so jarring.
