I loved this graphic novel. The illustrations are so good and the story is unbelievably beautiful!
Queer Selkies!!! I loved the story and the art is LOVELY, but I thought the ending was really sad, and that's not how I wanted it to end.
Enjoyed every minute. Colourful, Queer & Beautifully made comic.
Hecking cute as heck. Would recommend for all ages.
