This was a good, spooky read! I appreciate the way Tirado weaves in historical - and contemporary - racism into the story and shows how it's effects last for generations.

Breathtaking art and a cute story!! I wish sprites would come visit my house. I'd love to see some veggies sprites too. I be they'd be so cute!

Cute but perhaps a bit too zany for my taste! Good for teens who want a funny, feminist murder mystery with a good twist ending.

This was great! Sad and lovely all at the same time. I do think teen readers might be overwhelmed but the sheer amount of 80s/90s pop culture references at time but still wonderful and life affirming!!

I thought this was super interesting! I had heard of “Tokyo Rose” but I didn't know the full story at all. I found the whole propaganda machine of Japan - and other countries including the US - to be just fascinating!

A sweet comic about how things are not always what they seem and how persistence can be rewarded!

If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would.

I knew immediately upon starting reading it that it would destroy me emotionally and I was right. I am destroyed but I didn't know how beautiful the journey to that destruction would be. Everything about the book is so well crafted: the Elizabeth Bishop poem, the music, and Misbah's chapters and that they are written by Sal! . I found that the drug plot was so well done with the way it was introduced and then kept showing up like Chekov's gun. It just worked!

If this doesn't win the Printz I'll be so incredibly sad!!

Oh I ADORED this!! I loved all the characters (except the TERFs obvi) and I need the next book like IMMEDIATELY!!!

I loved this! Not only was it a great history of the franchise but it SHOULD -but it won't - silence all of the annoying fans who moan about “Gene's vision” and what is real Star Trek. It's ALL real Star Trek, especially the Star Trek you don't like.

It made me cry multiple times and made me it all even more.

My one quibble was going to be that the author didn't focus enough on what an absolute piece of shit Rick Berman is but I can see how that's not really the point. Plus most people know. Fuck that guy.

This shows a lot more of the political reasons for the war and shows Char being possibly (?) genuinely caring toward Garma in military academy. Which makes his betrayal even worse.

I do wish Fraw got to be an actual character instead of a caricature but I'm happy see Lalah introduced earlier.

Oooh this was a great dystopia that seems all too probable?!

Still enjoying it but this volume - obviously - is ALL Char and Sayla and that's a lot. Also, an unnecessary full frontal nudity shot of Kycilia. Ugh.

Not my favorite but still lots of fun. I just want to give Stevie a hug.

I really like this. It's a bit like if The Fifth Season and Evangelion had a baby and the baby was Joan of Arc. I think Yang does a good job of exploring the fine line between delusion/fanaticism and faith. My one wish was that the side of the Heretics was explored a bit more. It seemed obvious to me that they weren't as “bad” as perhaps the Church/Throne made them out to be but I think the text could have done a little bit more in that regard, but that's just me!

Again, the art in this is what keeps me coming back since we recently watched MSG so I'm familiar with the story. It's gorgeous and the essay at the back talks about how the artists doesn't use storyboards, outlines, and barely a colorist which is incredibly impressive. Some of the Jaburo landscape scenes are really wonderful. I do wish they had cut the parts with Char talking to some Amazonian Native peoples because it sort of uncomfortable.

This was a really sweet, family story! I want a sequel about Dicta - such a a character!

Gorgeous, heartbreaking, and sometimes even funny. A great memoir of being a child and an undocumented immigrant.

It took me a minute to warm up to Alex but I think the author did a good job of showing how she got to where she was at the beginning of the book.

I had heard this series described as Char fanfiction and it didn't so much of that until the EXTENDED SHOWER SCENE.

But I am appreciating the fleshing out - pun intended lol - of more characters.

I've seen the picture and knew a little bit of Smith and Carlos' story but not the whole thing. An incredible work - I'm sobbing.

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

This was such a great ending to the series!

So many secrets and drama. Is it too much to ask for two nice boys - well one nice boy and his sneaky boyfriend - to be happy?!

I have Gundam brain worms now so I enjoyed this! The color sections are really wonderful but sometime the black and white illustrations can be hard to parse.

This is deliciously - pun very much intended - spooky and gory! Takeda's art is gorgeous of course and i was surprised to find such funny parts, mostly Billy's reaction to things.

Can't wait for the next in the series!
