Thank you Ablaze and Netgalley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for my honest review!
This comic book is so needed. Asexuality and aromanticism are rarely talked about. You usually learn about it from other queer people and even that isn't always the case. I have found it very difficult to find information about asexuality and aromanticism, so I'm very happy this comic exists. Molly Muldoon and Will Hernandez explain asexuality very well. And even though this comic isn't about aromanticism, they also take some time to explain that as well.
This book also talks about the feeling of invalidation as an ace or aro person. Aphobia is everywhere and the authors made sure that the readers know that they are valid.
The art in this comic is awesome! The illustrations really made the story stronger. Books that contain a lot of new information get boring easily, but because of the illustrations, it stays very interesting and fun for everyone.
This book is a great pick for people who are interested to know more about asexuality, are questioning. If you are ace yourself, this might not give you any new information, but it might give you a feeling of validation.
'A Quick & Easy Guide to Asexuality' is out now!
CW: topics that are mentioned (not graphically) are sexual violence, medical discrimination, depression en aphobia.
