I finished this last night and completely forgot to write something about it but I knew I wanted to do it because I did really like this one. I loved the colours and how they represent different times in the main protagonist's life and the way that it deals with coming of age. I bought this on a whim and it paid off as I really did love it. It was also kind of quiet and I know this one has gone under the radar so I hope more people pick it up. I also hope that I remember this one in the coming months.

This is a really cool story about the difference between feeling like you belong to the place you are phsyically from vs. feeling like the place where you are from is a part of your heritage you don't identify with. It looks at the story from the perspective of three different generations of a family who escaped their planet, which they believed to be doomed. The way the family interacts despite their differences is really sweet.

The art is awesome, changing color schemes as significant chunks of time pass.

I recommend this for people of any age who are having difficulties after moving to a strange place.
