Real rating: 3.5 stars

This graphic novel has me so conflicted. The first third of the story felt incredibly slow to me. I found it difficult to keep reading. I knew some turning point was coming, and I was getting impatient to find out what it was. After the plot was finally revealed, things really picked up, though. I was glad to finally know what the point of this story was, and I was excited with where it was going. I wish less time was spent in the first chunk of the story and more time was spent in the last third. I felt like things started to move a little fast, and while we did learn more about our side characters, I think I would’ve enjoyed their stories to be even more fleshed out.

Overall, the world building was very interesting. It was honestly refreshing to see a story with no men in it. I would definitely recommend it to science fiction fans.
