I'm probably a little too old to be considered the target audience for this book (I'm 14), but nevertheless, I absolutely adored this graphic novel and every little thing about it!

This book has one of the most gorgeous art styles I have ever seen. The colour palette is so warm and mellow, and it compliments the vibe of this book incredibly well.

I loved the characters in this book. They were all charming and interesting in their own ways. I saw myself a lot in Bea, watching her overthink and freeze up when things got too overwhelming. Those little snapshots of her anxiety (quite literally) surrounding her really added to her character and made her all that much more relatable. I genuinely wanted to give her a hug during those scenes :')

The simple plot made it really easy to follow. The world of Irpa is such a fascinating place and was really cleverly set out. I really enjoyed following the growth of Bea and Cad's friendship, and their interactions with others and the outside world. It was interesting to see how their opposite personalities complimented each other.

And overall, this book was amazing! It's so underrated that it physically hurts me. Would definitely recommend.

Beautifully illustrated with detailed world building, I can’t wait to find out more. Great representation of what it feels like to have anxiety, too.

I haven’t read a graphic novel in a long time. Lightfall reminded me how much I enjoy them. It was a fun quick read, but the story has a lot of depth. 

The world was beautiful! Love how the artist used lighting in the illustrations. There just something about the scenes with the real warm glow that feels magical. 

As someone that has generalized anxiety I really related to Bea. Tim Probert visually captured what it feels like when those anxious “what if” thoughts start creeping in. 

One of my favorite quotes was:  “If I let the specter of certain doom stop me, I’d never get anywhere!”

I found the story a bit hard to follow in parts, but I adored the art (for the most part) and can't wait to read the next installment!
