A fantastical romp into a world of future tech, corrupt government, and unexpectedly finding a family to belong to. I’m a huge fan of Everina Maxwell and the plot, pacing, and tone of this graphic novel reads a lot like her books - full of futuristic sci-fi worlds and shady companies with questionable ethics. This book is also diverse and full of fantastic representation of LGBTQ+ Non-binary, and disabled characters! 

I was a fan of this comic way back in the webtoon days and finding it again now was such a wonderful surprise and I must say, for anyone who had an interest in Project Nought back in the day, come back! It has changed in all the best ways to deliver a much more poignant story and kept the hearts of the characters that pulled us in from the beginning! 

This graphic novel packs so much into its pages; managing to not only give depth and heart into the characters, but also weaving together a darker and more complex plot with multiple layers. I was absolutely impressed with the plot twists and turns that were executed in graphic novel format. I tend to find that graphic novels focus more on the imagery and less on the underlying plot. Honestly I think this is the first book of its format that I have found to have a very well constructed and well paced plot line.

I also absolutely adored the underlying current of deeper themes and questions such as what it means to be a human, the question of ethics in science, and the angst of accepting who you are - all interlaced with action and, of course, an endearing romance. 

Special thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
