"It is a story about someone stuck between conflicting existences realizing that empire never holds place for the conquered." I think that line summarizes this graphic novel perfectly.

This is a lovely YA fantasy about finding your own way and making up your own mind about the kind of causes you want to be a part of, what you want to fight for and why. It explores what it's like to "unlearn the justifications of colonialism" upheld by history, which is shaped and manipulated by the victors. It's also about identity, friendship, and found family. 

The art is beautiful and I loved the style very much. Overall, it was a delightful read. Simple yet powerful.
