My only criticism (a personal preference rather than any *real* criticism of the work) is that I found Eleanore largely unlikeable for most of the book. I of course understand that her flaws were essential early on in showing her privilege and in setting up her necessary character development. And I think that it’s also very important to show her flaws and character development as a lesson for kids (who are the intended audience of this YA graphic novel). So while I, as an adult reader, did not enjoy her character, I do not think it fair to “downgrade” the book for it because it’s a very meaningful aspect of the book, especially for it’s intended audience.
