This was such a beautifully crafted graphic novel, and I'm kicking myself for not reading it sooner. It's a hefty book with over 500 pages, but you'll fly through those pages pretty quickly because of how engaging the story is. Mohamed does a stunning job weaving into our reality the existence of wishes, creating an elaborate system around the different types of wishes that could be made, as well as the issues that come with making certain kinds of wishes. There are a lot of fascinating debates around the ethics of making wishes that really had me thinking about what I would do if I were ever given a first-class wish.

The graphic novel is divided into three stories, though they are all interconnected through a devout Muslim man who is trying to get rid of three first-class wishes. Each story was so gripping, though I was especially taken to the second story that focused on Nour, whose struggle with depression was so well presented in all its complexities that tie into one's culture, one's position in society, and more.

I could not have asked for more from a story, if I'm honest. Mohamed is a brilliant storyteller and illustrator, giving the reader plenty to chew on as you read, while also not overwhelming them.
