I loved the characterization! Especially in the chapter where we got to see the main characters writing back home to their families.
There is no romance.

❝ Most of you will die on a field you've never seen before, surrounded by strangers. What will all this talk of history and empire mean to you then? Is your life worth more than platitudes? ❞
I came across an enthralling young adult graphic novel that expertly delves into the captivating allure of empire, the intricate dynamics of marginalised people, the relentless pursuit of power, and the themes of camaraderie, cooperation, and valiant female protagonists wielding swords.
This book’s visual design is truly breathtaking; the exquisite artwork and the gripping storyline absolutely spellbound me. It successfully has left an enduring impression on me, and I find myself continually drawn back to its profound narrative. It presents a beautifully straightforward yet powerful message that lingers long after turning the final page.
