Start to finish, a beautiful story. I may have teared up at the last two chapters. This story invites you in and hugs you from all around and takes its time peeling back the layers of the ship’s crew while the tea it made for you is seeping. It slowly molds into shape through captivating illustrations, dual timelines, and an imaginative look into Walden’s deep space. Seriously, the art and lore in this universe are beautiful!! There is Non-Binary rep, and also no depiction of men or anyone with the pronouns of “he” which I found interesting. I’m so happy to have read this and definitively want to read her other works!
