Beautiful science-fiction epic about a love that can transcend barriers and time.
Without doubt one of my favourite books of the year, and quite possibly one of my favourite graphic/novels of all time.

I love Tillie Walden’s art and the concept of this story is very interesting. However, I think it falls into a lot of common pitfalls that I find in Tillie Walden’s graphic novels. There were certain parts that I did connect to and I thought were well done, but there’s just so much… extra that really doesn’t feel important to the story or the character development. It’s a bit of a slog to get through all that. I feel like it would be so much better if it leaned more towards the mysterious/visually intriguing aspect, and left out a lot of the slice-of-life stuff which I think feels forced most of the time.
Gorgeous art, and I’ll still keep reading Tillie Walden’s new work- this is one of her earlier comics so the writing may be an aspect that improves with time!

I read it online in English but had the printed version in German at home from the library. 😅 The website is super simple and easy to navigate so I scrolled on my pc while eating dinner. 🙈 The art is pretty and I like the limited colour scheme and lots of great backgrounds. I didn't quite understand the goal of the story though... Was it just a way to tell people that you can't expect someone to still like you after some years without contact and to always be able to move on if that's the case or what? MC basically falls in love with a girl, the girl needs to go home where MC can't contact her for years, therefore she has to go on a great adventure to find her again and when she does, the girl decides to join her on flying around the galaxy just because of their love. Of course the side characters and their stories were interesting too but broken down like this I feel like it's just another tragic wxw love story without much depth... I don't knoooow! Maybe I already forgot too much and can't judge it correctly anymore but nothing really stuck with me, there were no profound moments that burned themselves into my brain. 🥲
If I were to recommend this, I would definitely recommend the website version instead of print. 🙊
