This graphic novel is visually stunning, and the commentary on colonialism is quite nuanced because of the range of character perspectives we get to know. The ending was very satisfying.
Graphic: Violence, Xenophobia, Blood, Fire/Fire injury, Gore, Racism, and Colonisation
Moderate: Classism, Racial slurs, Injury/Injury detail, and War
Minor: Death
