5.0

I love how this graphic novel uses the illustration medium to tell the story.  In this story, there are three storylines - past, current Earth and current Space Station. The author uses colors to denote what timeline you are reading. Thus they tell a complicated story using few words and it is magnificent. 

This graphic novel focuses on family, being separated from the ones you love, and grief. Again, the author brilliantly uses the medium to convey these deep emotions with minimal words.    

This is a powerful gut punch of a graphic novel. I cannot recommend it enough!
