A real and horrifying look in the Holocaust and Auschwitz... A book that will haunt you. I feel this book should be read, so something so horrific never happens again, a reminder of the horrors done to innocent people.
Potent and filled with symbolism, the analogy of the Jews being mice, and the Germans as cats was horrifying in itself, and greatly fitting.

A heartfelt and touching story about mental illness, and the difficulties of growing up as mixed, and the complexities of those two together. I have struggled with depression most of my life, and this book wonderfully depicted it, without falling into the same story I see time and time again about it. I also felt the depiction of Iran felt so real and beautiful, and human, like I was there, learning with Darius about the culture he came from. I plan to read the second book, and I will be re-reading this one.

A delicious book, filled with wonderful thai recipes and a rich introduction to thai culture through food. I very much enjoyed the recipes I made from the book, and would definitely make more in the future! In addition, the art and the unique way of learning about thai cuisine through small comics and stories, made it a very fun and cute read.

A wonderful look into the complex identity that is the asexuality and aromantic spectrum. I have struggled for years whether to call myself asexual & aromantic, despite sometimes crushing on fictional characters, and even occasionally thinking I want a relationship till I get into one, and I very much related and felt a connection with the main character, having experienced many of the things she went through. In addition, the art was beautiful, and I very much enjoyed the overall themes of UFOs and aliens, and the way people on the ace and aro spectrum might feel like one. I plan to buy this manga once the physical comes out, as it helped me understand myself a bit better as well, and made very clear that you choose which label you prefer, based on the experiences you have and how they relate to them.

One of the best books I've read in a while, Compound Fracture is quick-paced, dark, but filled with a strong sense of humanity. I adored the main character, he was human, flawed in the way we all are, but fighting for what he believed in. It was wonderful to see a trans main character, especially one who was aromantic but not necessarily asexual, and I adored the autistic representation as well. I couldn't put the book down, the way Andrew writes draws you in, and enraptures your feelings. I am so glad to have read this book, and I plan to read his other. books very soon.
