The art is beautiful and eye-catching. I loved the character designs too! The ending is fantastic and wraps up the whole book so well.
No matter what, I know I can't do this book justice, so I'm just going to encourage you to read it.
Favorite Quote:
"<My Vietnamese is weakening, every day. I'm changing.
My past and present selves speak two different languages.
It feels like I died on that boat. And I'm still stuck in the middle of the ocean.
Far away from my mother . . .
. . . and far away from my son.
I'm afraid Tiến doesn't think he can tell me things.
I'm sure he can feel it. I know I do.
And I wish it wasn't that way.Did my mother feel that way? Did she feel like this all those years I was away?>"
