5.0

Lights is the final instalment in the trilogy of graphic novels by Brenna Thummler about Marjorie, Eliza and their ghost friend Wendell. I absolutely loved Sheets and Delicates so was eager to see how Brenna would wrap up their stories.

Sheets concentrates more on Wendell and his background compared to the previous two graphic novels and it was really heartwarming to see him discover his own story. Thummler also dives deeper into Marjorie and Eliza’s friendship and examines some tender subjects such as changing friendships, forgiveness and grief in her usual beautiful intuitive style.

Just like Sheets and Delicates, the artwork in Lights is simply gorgeous. The delicate pastel palette and simple yet emotive illustrations perfectly compliment some possible tear jerker moments.

If you enjoyed Sheets and Delicates you will absolutely adore Lights. I’d also really recommend the series for anyone considering trying graphic novels for the first time.

Thanks to Oni Press for giving me a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
