Very sweet, cute story with incredible annotations and research about the time period. Romance felt irrelevant to the plot but was an appreciated addition ☺️

I adored the art style of this graphic novel, and loved the sapphic romance and trans rep. However, I wish it was longer so the plot and characters could be fleshed out more.

This is a story about trans people during the American Civil War but an uplifting one.
