4.5

This graphic novel is stunning. An unbelievable amount of detail is in every frame, and I especially liked how it uses colors to differentiate between the present, past, and fairytale sections. Each major character is thoughtfully crafted and feels real (even those in the fairytales), concluding in a heartfelt ending. It combines a family, fairytales, and Vietnamese culture into a story that leaps off the pages.
