So, I just love these. Jed was less enthralled, I know, so he can perhaps give a more cogent critique. But these graphic novels pressed all my buttons -- culture clash, a war on, funny family dynamics, a loving but also sardonic romantic relationship, a breastfeeding fighting woman, strong female protagonists in general, really alien aliens, imaginative world-building, weird royalty, class issues, sex workers, etc. and so on. Just fascinating, and I'm really looking forward to future volumes. Can't wait to see what happens next!
Agreed – also loved these and looking forward to the next paperback!
