softshinobukcho 's review for:
Open Earth
by Sarah Mirk
✰✰✰
In this graphic novel we follow Rigo, a latinx girl in a polyamory relationship living in a spaceship, that wants to move with one her partners but she's worried it's going to affect to the rest of her relationships.
I liked this volume, it was a easy and fun read that I would recommend between more complex books (but if you don't like explicit sex scenes stay away from it), and it has body a sex positivity, a diverse cast, and the art was fine (nothing mindblowing but not hard to appreciate or get into), but I didn't 100% work for me overall. First, it was so strange for me to see how different point of views have one single generation, these changes happens over years and years. Second, this was a very character driven graphic novel with barely no plot, but I can say a lot from this characters, we know what they work on, maybe some personal attribute if we're lucky, but nothing more, and it frustrated me in a character driven read, more even with a interesting world and politics behind this story, so this had me thinking well if we're not going to get a lot of this characters give more of this world but we didn't get it. I hope this is fixed in future volumes if we get them.
Like I say, I would recommend this only if you want something quickly to read and distract your mind but you aren't going to get much more of this one.
