The use of colour in this book was delightful. It was very well thought out and worked really well as a stand alone book.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

After a coup leaves a usurper in control the Royal twins hide out among Communion of Blue where one youth finds their calling as a magical weaver, and both plot to expose the truth.

The fast paced middle-grade adventure is LGBTQ affirming and satisfying, a fun read with room for a series.

I loved the message to this but it felt like there was a disconnect between a lot of the panels and what the panels were supposed to be showing me. I felt a bit lost in a few places. The illustrations were beautiful but they didn't totally line up quite right.

A fun #MiddleGrade #Fantasy #GraphicNovel about two siblings caught up in a political coup. Both are assigned male, escape and hide themselves as new initiates in The Communion of Blue, a women-only communal society with sacred duties. When they are given the opportunity to avenge wrongs done to them, one is eager to get back to his old life and the other wants to stay in the life she knows is for her. Nice trans storyline, good but not great art.

Alora Love the cover! 4y
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian @Alora Me too! I think it's my favourite art in the book. 4y

Another middle grades book! I saw this Graphic Novel on a co-workers desk, borrowed it and really enjoyed it! I loved the illustrations and colors. It‘s high adventure and fun with gender identity tied in. I wish the world building was more detailed, but that‘s me.
