This was a great comic about two people from two very different worlds: a Star Wars-esque situation where rebels are fighting against an oppressive empire and a peaceful, socialist commune where everyone is accepted and cared for. I loved the message and the art was great!

Oooh this was great! Definitely one to take your time with and not speed read. A great haunted house book and a fantastic debut!!

Of course, Jemisin's world-building is absolute perfection. She totally had me believing this was a real world with real countries and faiths. I'm so intrigued to see where the second book goes!

Bro, this was good!

I wanted to like more because I really enjoyed the author's first book, The Deep Sky but this one just didn't really work for me. The premise was solid but the worldbuilding was a bit a mess and the characters felt a little flat. It also doesn't help that I've been rereading the Expanse series and that series does many of the same elements - interstellar gate travel, mysterious builders, a badass former solider - better in every way.
