I'm just imagining Laia and Elias and Helene and Musa sitting in their cabin, telling each other these stories, reminiscing about their lives before, remembering Darin. I'm gonna go cry now.

I mean the pure talent!!!! This was spectacular and I loved it to bits.
Compared to book one [b: A Thief Among the Trees|52758336|A Thief Among the Trees (An Ember in the Ashes Graphic Novel Prequel, #1)|Sabaa Tahir|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1570970076l/52758336._SX50_SY75_.jpg|73601295], I was already familiar with the storytelling style so I wasn't confused. I didn't realise this was about Laia but you bet I was far too excited. I LOVED getting to learn about Laia's family and what they do. The art style was just as great, the colours are more red and yellow and I loved. Darin has a really interesting story which I loved learning the origins of. And my girl Laia. Same as the first book, she had a really interesting journey and is so different to the girl I know in the novels, which is makes for such an great dichomoty and shows her character development.
Sabaa Tahir is an absolute mastermind and I,,,, am not prepared to be destroyed #prayforruby

Love the art, love the small insight to Laia and Darin’s lives before the start of the series.
