I had heard a lot about this graphic novel before picking it up. Nothing particularly specific, just that it was good and that it was something that I should read. Believe the hype.
This book, which is surprisingly nsfw, is narrated by a child and is her up-bringing story. It opens with her birth and ends with her and her parents hurtling through space and the introduction of some new important characters.
The story is exactly what one would expect from Vaughan if they have been reading any of his other series. The story and complex, have great character development, and are very morally grey. He puts the characters in near impossible situations to see how they will handle them and, somehow, it all turns out alright in the end.
The artwork in the book just adds to its brilliance. Fiona Staples has done a wonderful job at bringing these strange sights to life.
I really enjoyed this book and I’m really looking forward to reading the other volumes in the series. I rate it a 4 out of 5.
