For a book named Stargazing there was not a lot of it, maybe three pages at most. Personally, I wasn’t as attracted to the illustrations and art style and I found the plot to be a bit rushed and jumbled at times. I think the storyline could’ve been a bit more fleshed out as it felt like we barely knew the importance of the characters before they were catastrophe stricken. I would’ve loved to have gotten to know the characters better and overall felt since we hadn’t gotten to know them too personally, that the catastrophe was a little sudden, misplaced and lack lustre. It didn’t have as much of an impact as I lacked the connection to the characters, with little depth of their personalities and decreased bonding to the characters. I rated this graphic novel 3.5/5 stars. ⭐️🌙
