A lovely graphic novel set in a fantasy empire and explores the ways that young people can work to reject and fight against (or not) imperialism and colonialist mindsets. I thought that the themes of anti-colonialism were depicted in a way that is accessible for a teen audience, the characters were wonderful, I enjoyed the artwork, and the story is well-paced and thought out. It felt incredibly relevant to the world we're living in right now.
