What the critic wrote
Peony & Willow carries over the trevor-noah grammar well: navy and charcoal chapters, a pink edge-to-edge wordmark, cream pills, the numbered footer pill with a sticker and a speech bubble, and rebus titles. The twist is real: a torn kraft shell stands in for the head, and a single engine draws the paper cross-sections, the long-exposure photos and the live sky. The shells and book pages are the most finished.
