That was the saddest, most incredible journey and why the fuck did they cancel this series?!
Can we give Nevaeh a break? GEEZ poor girl - I love her attitude.
I am really enjoying learning more about the previous populations of Sanctuary. How Amy Rose Capetta fit all of that into this short chapter, I will never understand. You master!

For some reason I thought this was the end of this creative team and I just about cried. This was my fav story arc of the series (been reading since day 1) and I was not ready for things to change. GAH I love this.
I’m looking at this book through a different lens than most of the people reviewing, I think. I didn’t see this book as a thriller or suspense (which is one of my fav genres) but as a book focused on the battle of mental wellness and trying to make sense of the non-sensical.
I’m always hesitant to read books with mental health rep and only read ones by authors I trust. I trust Marieke because of her own experiences and the fact that This is Where It Ends nearly broke me.
I interpreted the story as a look at how the world (or a small community) sees a person with mental health concerns...not a sum of their parts but defined by one piece of them (see: allegory with art). I saw a close friend try to make sense of suicide and other’s grief processes.
This book is dark and deep (but hello, did you read her debut? You should expect this). I’m still mulling it over in my mind.

#thedialogues poses an interesting idea: what if we incorporated science into our daily conversations the way we do politics, sports, or movies/tv shows? What would our world be like if we discussed our questions or unknowns? What if every scientist believed those outside the field were interested (and capable!) of having discussions around science?
Science can feel exclusive but The Dialogues finds a way to bring it to the lay person. Swipe to see my favorite panel, featuring two youth going through the scientific method (without even knowing it!). Their curiosity came from a meal they were eating.
Last year, we went to #SVCC, which featured a partnership with #NASA. I didn’t go to a con expecting to want to spend the entire weekend in science panels but once we engaged with NASA scientists, we couldn’t resist spending our weekend learning more. My preferred science has always been biology (my original major!) but I was way into the astrophysics being presented. The Dialogues reminded me of this experience!
I loved that the author/illustrator designed a graphic novel versus a print story (show, not tell). I also appreciated the explanations at the end of the chapter, which provided insight and further reading opportunities.
Highly recommend for everyone to plant the seed of adding science to your day! Take that curiosity into your daily conversations and watch yourself turn into a scientist!
PS who is joining us for the #Gemina part of #illuminaereadalong, starting next Monday! Reading #SFF is a great way to start a discussion about science!

That ended totally different than I imagined AND in a completely "Runaways" way. Loved every second of this creative team and the next adventure of the Runaways. Can't wait for what comes next.
