The story was beautifully told and the art was lovely. 

There were moments of humor which were well placed and charming. 

There were times of making fun of one’s appearance or other bullying that were framed positively and were difficult to get through. 

The backdrop of the war was real but it did not feel like a dry retelling of history but rather a truly personal account of how resistance, rebellion, and war impact one’s life.
