Die melancholische und oft angespannte Geschichte eines jungen Mädchens, das in der Welt des Eiskunstlaufs gefangen ist und keinen Ausweg findet. Obwohl wir viel über die Protagonistin erfahren, wirkt sie doch bin zum Ende distanziert und schwer greifbar. Trotzdem hat mich die Geschichte berührt und auch der Malstil passt gut

If there are Mount Rushmore of comic book creators, Tilly Walden would be up there next to Will Eisner. This book could be used as a textbook on how to make amazing comics. Walden's ability to use imagry to not only illustrate the story but you add to it to tell more of it, it is visual storytelling at its finest. While this book is about ice skating it's obviously not just about ice skating it's one of the deepest and heaviest books I have ever read.

Due to the time in which it takes place, any story involving a character coming out is going to be rife with homophobia. Well it is definitely a aspect of the story it is not the whole story.

This book wasn't quite what I expected it to be. I found it interesting how Walden continued to do something she hated so much for so long, but with the events of her life, it makes sense. I hope that Walden has gotten some healing since publishing this book.
