Imprisoned in a tower within the walls of Pale City, Kroma lives her days out in darkness, believing she is the most evil thing on Earth. However, where her people see a monster, the mysterious orphan Zet sees a human.

But if either of them is to survive the city’s strange rituals and customs, they will have to overcome the cruel fate of Kroma…even if it means risking certain death beyond the walls in the jaws of giant lizards and enormous birds of prey.

Review of 'Kroma' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Well, this was a great surprise! Kroma is a wonderful fantasy tale about a world where color is evil and everyone is forced to live in the safety of the monochrome pale city after the king of color declared war on humanity. The lore is straightforward but very rich and creative. The story and art definitely don't disappoint either.



The less said about the story is better, so I won't elaborate much on it and you can go in spoiler-free. What I really love about Kroma though is that it doesn't overstay its welcome at all. At about just 180 pages, you can read it all in one sitting. It surprisingly doesn't feel rushed either, there's just enough story for you to be satisfied.
