Beautiful, dynamic art. Love a story about girls with swords. I felt the art and narrative worked together perfectly to tell a story with adventure and danger and mixing in personal identity and growth. It also explored themes of war and colonialism and what history is. Ending left me wanting more. I felt one chapter closed but another should be beginning for Aiza and her friends. I want more!
