Hi! I'm one of the admins here, and I like to read all sorts of things! Non-fiction graphic novels are my favorite, but I also like YA SFF quite a bit, and enjoy exploring other things besides.

I really can't decide how I feel about this one... many of the individual comics are very cute but the order is a bit chaotic, the book doesn't flow, and at times they seem pretentious when collated and read together.

I think I would've liked both very much if published separately, but picking up a comic and getting a 19th century primary source document makes it feel like a bit of a slog at the end.
