A brilliant book with fantastic art. It felt live a very real presentation of an invaded/occupied place, with very real characters. There are stretches where there isn't any dialogue during conversations, letting the illustrations tell the story. It's a very effective technique, and helped move the story along. 

The

conversation Coleen has with Lucy about love, about the way you have to love people because they die, was really beautiful and sad. It felt like very earned development.

If I have a criticism, it's the relationship between Jannbo and Ridley. It felt poorly developed and like it should've been interesting but wasn't. 

That's all, aside from that, this was a beautiful book with fantastic art.

Everything felt a little rushed and the class stuff was odd.
