Lights is the final instalment of the Sheets trilogy. I adored Sheets and Delicates and was excited to see how Thummler concluded this graphic novel series.

Lights focused on Wendall’s human life and Marjorie and Eliza must work together even when their friendship is being tested, to help Wendall find out what happened to him.

There were a number of very emotional scenes in this story; some profound statements about death and coping with loss which really resonated with me. I love each of the main characters, their personal journeys and struggles and I think Brenna gave them the perfect send off. This is a story of friendship, the fear of change, grief and perseverance. The messages contained within this beautifully illuminated story will make an impact on the reader. 

Thanks to NetGalley and Oni Press for the arc. Lights will be published on the 5th September.
