✨ "Things never end. They just change."
Well, this certainly wasn't what I was expecting. Not in a bad way, just that I thought it would be a more grounded read about disaster survival and maybe the Asian-American experience. But it's actually more geared towards a post-apocalyptic world with... monsters.
Ginny was really rude, annoying and not as street-smart as she thinks she is. I found myself often wishing she would just do as told instead of getting everyone into trouble. Wes and Harry are such sweethearts, however.
The story was a bit confusing at times due to the lack of text in some panels. However, I liked how the author used just two colours (pink and black) in the illustrations. He explained his choice of colours at the back of the book and I thought it was quite interesting.
Note that this is not a standalone and ends with 'to be continued'.
