Breathers by Justin Madson

zuuru's review against another edition

3.0

I like the melancholy of the book and the more positive certainty that humanity can endure anything, but the ending's time jump was poorly done and left me a tad confused. It felt like a chunk at the end was missing.

Solid book, enjoyed the artwork and the story. Got VERY dark in some places and definitely didn’t look as intense at first glance as it really was but I enjoyed the book
