*Thank you to Netgalley and Diamond Book Distributors for a copy in exchange for an honest review*
Becstar is star-hopping mercenary-gone-full time-gambler light-years away from Earth. Leaving her old life behind with the help of her magical luck dagger and her friend Sally Soolin, Becstar ekes out a living under the nefarious Shadow Syndicate's radar. But when a mysterious girl appears with grim news and an urgent quest with the universe fate hangs, she has no choice but to join and regret it immediately.
I was excited about this graphic novel. It, sadly, did not meet my excitement level. The plot was confusing, I had to keep flipping between pages to understand what was happening. It felt all over the place, and I feel like the story would have been done better if the plot was better planned out.
The art style, however, was phenomenal. I absolutely love this artist's style of character drawings.
This graphic novel just fell flat because the plot and worldbuilding were too jumbled for my liking, however, that does not mean someone else will like it!
