Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Even though I'm still waiting for the whole story to unfold like the rest of you, from what I've seen so far, I'm pretty confident that they will continue to impress me with a quality narrative, believable characters, pleasing art style, intriguing background which would incur some thoughts about more serious issues like racism or imperialism in the rest of the books to come.

Because of this & the save system, it is possible to exit to the menu and restart a book multiple times, to get multiple achievies at once.
