Art: The art took a bit to get used to for me, the colours are nice, the paneling okay, and I always like it when flashbacks are shown in different styles (bonus D.s and Nubias flashbacks are also different from eachother).
Story: I went in blind and the heavy themes kind of hit me by suprise at first, that said it is handled well and I like how the story never forgets that they are just kids/teens.
Her moms are great (also how cool is it that at this age people in media are allowed to be queer casually? I actaully read "moms" and first through I was misreading something)) and I love the relationship between the kids.
Also reading the words "Stop Murdering Black Trans Woman" and "Trans Lives Matter" was great.

I thought this was such a great graphic novel. I love the story of Wonder Woman's twin sister. Nubia is such a great main character and I love how this story takes place in current society and how L.L MckInney used it so that many people of color can be heard. To show the struggles, but also the love everyone can have for each other. How having this magical ability Nubia should be proud of who she is and how much of a big heart she has to do good in the world.
