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.

The real standout feature of this book is the art. It's beautifully illustrated in a style I haven't seen too much of before in comic art. The queer representation is the other most major positive. The writing it quite simplistic and the plot line wraps up a little bit too quickly for my taste. It's really long but everything comes together and wraps up perfectly in a really impossible way in the last 50 pages or so.
