Cover: I love the cover for this.

I’m not a graphic novel reader.  I’m just not.

But there’s such a buzz and hype about this book in the booktube world, and from descriptions, sounds like a plot I would enjoy as a book, so thought I would give this graphic novel  a try.

And I’m glad I did.

I don’t know how I can really judge, but I loved the artwork.  I thought it was fantastic.  Colourful and vibrant- even thought I don’t have much to compare it to, I still appreciated it.

I loved the story of two star-crossed lovers-running from their enemies across the galaxy so they can raise their baby.

While I struggled at some points to understand what was happening- I think because it’s a different way of reading, where I’m used to reading just text, eventually I got used to it, and found myself engrossed in the story.
Will be continuing with the series without a doubt.

4.5/5 stars.
