I absolutely love this book. It the story, the characters, and the art style are just all so beautiful. Even though the different "timelines" aren't specifically labeled, the author does such a great job of using different monochromatic color schemes to differentiate them. Blue for the fairytales, pink for the current timeline, and yellow for the past. The story is so wholesome and sweet. I really liked how the author added Vietnamese culture to Western fairytales. The characters and setting are just so beautifully drawn and this has one of the best art styles in any graphic novel. I hope that everyone reads this. I can't recommend this enough.
