dark emotional funny inspiring

4.5

My only point of contention, which isn't a complaint, is that the book is described as a romance and it's not. I don't know why that's in the blurb. Everything was amazing otherwise.

A beautiful graphic novel with a host of queer characters all over the rainbow. I appreciate that a character's LGBTQ+ identity was independent of their morality, and not questioned by any other characters.  The variety in characters appearances and traits was delightful; I often struggle to remember which characters are which in stories at times, but this author did a great job of making each one distinct not just in appearance but also personality.
I love the world Blue has created and the possibilities they lead the reader to consider when reading this story.
