Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!
I loved this graphic novel! The writing was so well done, and the pacing was just right. This wasn't a fast-paced novel, but it kept you rooting for the main characters the whole way through. All of the characters felt realistic like they could be actual people you have encountered before. Clementine is a great protagonist as well. Her determination and kind demeanor make you want to cheer her on. The story brings up an age-old sci-fi story question, what do you think counts as a truly conscious being? The romance felt a smidgen fast, but it still worked out fine in the overall pacing. I really adored the world-building in this graphic novel! The way daily life is on Mars seems like a dream come true. I also loved the tiny background details, such as a stairway that can morph itself into a ramp for wheelchair users! The robot designs were also so good but also were an interesting commentary on current robotic designs. The art design was also excellent. I liked that instead of the traditional black and white art, it was navy blue and white! Oddly enough, it feels like it made it easier on my eyes.
