Although it has nice interesting characters, I felt like some sence of plot/urgency/something was missing to make this book really gripping.
(Also, I can't quite get how they managed to care about each other so quickly & intensely in such a short amount of time...)

Despite this it was a nice book I managed to gobble up pretty quickly and I'll be honest... I'm curious to read the second book. Bring it on!

This graphic novel is in fact a collection of five short tales from prewar Spain. The darkness of the tales comes out really well in the pretty but dark artwork. I find it slightly disappointing that I was too confused and that I only fully understood the tales once I read the two or three explanation paragraphs at the end... Despite this I still recommend this graphic novel to anyone looking for dark and eerie tales.

2.75 /5
On paper this seems to be everything I would love the most librarian demiace MC working with a emotion-feeling alien robot in a space-ish setting.
But the fact that there were so many 21st century pop culture references (potter, THUG, Coldplay...) felt weird.
I appreciate the importance of art (through books and music) in this story but how it was all out together and written just.didn't impress me as much as I wanted it too.
Also, their relationship is instalove even though they try to say it isn't.

2.5-3 / 5. Le deux premiers tiers de ce livre ne m'ont vraiment pas plu ... Mais merci pour cette dernière partie qui me donne un peu d'espoir.

Déjà, ça sent le triangle amoureux, et je sens que ça ne s'arrêtera pas là.
Mais surtout, ce que je déteste par dessus tout, c'est le personnage principal qui se dit nul, pas quelqu'un de joli ou d'important ou quoi que ce soit, alors que c'est justement elle le centre de l'intrigue, elle est LA personne la plus importante aux yeux de tout le monde et c'est elle qui sauvera ou détruira le monde. URGH.
La raison pour laquelle je l'ai lu si rapidement c'est que la moitié a été lu en diagonale ...

MAIS je dois admettre qu'il y a un petit élément qui vient bousculer l'intrigue (auquel je m'attendais un peu m'ayant informée sur la trilogie) que j'ai vraiment beaucoup aimé. A partir de là l'histoire a commencé à devenir vraiment très intéressante.
J'espère que les livres suivants ne retomberont pas dans les clichés si agaçants des livres qui veulent plaire aux jeunes comme on a vu dans ce premier tome ...

Fun, whirlwind of an adventure, set in space. With twists you see coming a mile away that then hit you with another twist you weren't expecting.
Shaun David Hutchinson manages to incorporate perfect sci-fi elements to a love story that you can't help but root for.

Wonderful middle grade story about a native American girl discovering her ancestors story. Very much enjoyed everything

2021 reread.
The best dysfunctional found family ever.

3.5 ~ I guess I enjoyed it? I think it's a case of hyped book that didn't quite live up to my expectations.
It took a while to get into, to really identify and differenciate our two main characters. I didn't reeeeally feel any incredible feelings towards it but the more I read the more I was into it.
I am curious to see how the second book will plan out!

TJR is a great author, who knows how to make us care quite a lot and feel all the feels.
I could feel like One True Loves was GOOD but this one just wasn't so much for me.

2.5 ~ I guess vibes and one or two interesting characters (out of six, well, put of nine really) don't make a good story.
