5.0

The way that the author weaves modified fairy tales in with the lives and stories of the main characters is purely magical. The visuals mixed with the very real experiences of immigrants and queer youth is nothing short of breath taking. This is definitely one of the best, if not the best, graphic novel I've ever read.
