I’ve never read a graphic novel before and now I’m not sure if any will compare to this trilogy! It was superb storytelling, engrossing detail, and some deep life lessons woven throughout. Highly recommend!

Truly loved this - the world building is fantastic and I love the three narratives of the different wish users. Great to see depression represented. It has so many stories within it. I’d love to know more!

I loved this book and I'm so happy I stumbled on it. It does the wonderful thing that spec fic can - use fantasy to explore real problems in a compelling fashion.
In a world where wishes are a product, street vendor Shokry has 3 first class wishes that he's trying to sell, and we get the story of the three people who get them.
The first story didn't resonate with me, thought I was a compelling exploration of systemic injustice The second, about a depressed college student, was heart wrenching, funny and familiar.
I won't spoil the last story, but it was definitely not what I was expecting, and the best of the three.
The art was beautiful. Mostly black and white, with color for the frame sections.
