Reading this comic felt as if I was having a dream so close to consciousness that I could revisit it just by closing my eyes and beginning to imagine this mysterious world's endless landscape as I fell asleep.

I've still failed to find a larger meaning in Dalrymple's writing, however the artwork and design is what made the story interesting and I don't regret spending my time on it.

From a writing perspective this comic is fairly simple, though the the clear dialogue and large lettering gives the reader time to appreciate what originally drew me to it, the gorgeous and colorful artwork.

Hopefully the title will have a sequel following its abrupt ending, but either way I'm glad I own it and will definitely re-read it to cherish each glorious illustration once again.

Still my favorite comic series around! Nadia and young women of G.I.R.L. continue to be lovable characters with realistic challenges and admirable perseverance and I've grown rather attached to them. 

Nadia's struggles with bipolar disorder are expanded upon in this volume, and displayed with indubitable empathy. Mental illness representation in comics can often be lacking or sensationalized, and I was glad to see not only attention to detail included in this depiction, but positive responses from people on social media who felt represented by Nadia.

I've treasured each issue of this series and the meaning it has to me, and I look forward to the few issues we still have left.
