i usually prefer traditionally written books to graphic novels but this story was perfectly suited to its medium. It was beautiful to look at and beautiful to read. Complex characters, fascinating world building, absolutely stunning <3

There is absolutely nothing I would change about this book. The art is gorgeous. I fell in love with all the characters and their friendship and relationships. Elliot is the nonbinary icon I needed to see. Everyone is queer. Enough said.

I love the art style and how the colouring is done, it’s absolutely beautiful. And I love how the colours change for a different time period or for a different setting, that really helped to let me know where we were in the story.

On a Sunbeam is a visual masterpiece that takes you on an emotional journey as the characters interact with their world and their past is revealed. The artwork is stunning and the characters are well-written.

This was a sweet, beautiful adventure. Each character had their own unique story, the artwork was absolutely GORGEOUS, and the plot was engaging and exciting. I seriously can't get over some of the full pages of beauty and color. While many of the events and connections were extremely contrived, it only took away from the story a little bit. This is the perfect adventure to cozy up with and get lost in the beautiful artwork and beautiful friendships.
