The art is STUNNING. Part of me wonders what the experience would have been like if there was no dialogue whatsoever. At times, it felt like the dialogue took away from the storyline, rather than propelling it forward. Highly recommend checking it out for the visuals!

Really extraordinary art and a joyful, slippery story about friendship, responsibility, authenticity, loss, and new connection across worlds/worldviews.

disclaimer, this was sent to me by nobrow press!
the story was simple and dreamy and easy to follow despite its abstract otherworldliness, and the characters were just delightfully designed. the color and overall art is beyond gorgeous, the way mendoza weaves together abstract and concrete is really really beautiful! there are a bunch of pages from this that could just. go in a museum. i definitely understand the critiques of it being hard to follow, but i tried not to overthink it and let myself absorb the artwork and dialogue, and i really enjoyed it!
i also love a little story where gender simply doesn’t exist

It is a dystopia world to start with. It then goes into a odd trippy effect through the dimensions. There is mention of War and friendship issues that might also be triggering. It is surreal and the realistic coming of age concept. Not for all readers especially young or sensitive ones
