Very good read, but probably would have been best not to have read it the very same day that the Ukraine-Russian war began. Or perhaps now is precisely the right time to read about such a bleak history: so that we can prevent it from happening all over again.
* I appreciated that they included important key points of the war both during the story and as a post-note timeline. It wasn't purely a graphic novel adaptation of her book, but of her early life and death, as well (this is pretty obvious considering the title, but for some reason that didn't get through to me at the time).
* it would've been nice if at least one of the short stories she wrote had been included, since she dreamed of being famous for her writing
