This is a challenging read well worth the effort. I haven't finished the original text so I can't comment on the adaptation, but the storytelling and illustration were remarkable in how they worked together to carry the reader through the profound and distressing experience of the perspective character.
Recommend for fans of N.K. Jemison or Octavia Butler.

I'm pretty sure I'm missing a lot of content warnings. Please approach this book with an eye to your own well-being. I urge you to finish it if you can but take breaks for deep breaths, drinking water, crying, and processing.
