What I did not know though was that this graphic novel is portraying a lot of heavy topics and that caught me of guard. Especially the rape scene was a lot. But just generally I would not recommend this to everyone for that reason. I do think it was all handled really well and respectfully.
Please do look at the trigger warnings though! Since it is visually portrayed I think it can be especially triggering.
I really enjoyed reading this book though. The drawing style is gorgeous and I felt really immersed in the story. There is great attention to detail and that helps with the main problem I have with graphic novels (them feeling too short and the characters not being flashed out enough).
I am definitely reading the second book as well and I'm really excited for it too. The only reason this isn't a 5 star read for me is that it made me feel bad because of all the darker themes. It is really close though and I might give it 5 stars after a reread in the future.
