GORGEOUS artwork, smells great. we love gender fun in kids' books, and crow is my fave chr of all time. all these characters are so nonbinary it's insane.

I really enjoyed this but I will say there were several moments that I think happened without a realistic setup. It felt like it just happened to move the story forward. That being said, each time that happened I was still quick to get back into the story and I can't wait to read the next one.

A friend recommended this comic book and let me borrow it. (Thank you, Grace!) The story is fascinating, and the art is absolutely amazing! The one I borrowed had a few pages in the beginning in color, but the black and white also worked great for the novel. But a full color would have enhanced the experience. Blue and Crow's connection and similarities were my favorite part of the story. I got emotional when Crow said, "I'm not a real boy, either" (141). There was a good amount of depth of societal issues and sexism during that time, such as what it meant to be a girl and what it meant to be a boy. However, I hope the topic of gender identity is more fleshed out in the next one. I'm really excited for the second book!

Great characters, lovely world, a plot that makes sense, but there's something missing in how the story unfolds and the conflicts are created and addressed. I'm going to spend some time thinking about whether I want to continue the series or not.
