Undeniably adorable graphic novel with an artistic style that perfectly matches the spirit of the story — sweet and radiant but grounded. The world is a fascinating blend of craft, tech, and magic; our seer Ray and barista musician Laurie are given a chance to be multidimensional characters; the side characters aren't just props; the diversity rep feels authentic and well integrated; and the choices the characters make are refreshingly honest, age appropriate, and trend toward healthy. The story felt a little underdeveloped in parts and had some pacing issues, but it was a fun read overall. And the art really is lovely.
