ReviewsKIRKUS -- A 17-year-old faces his destiny in a dividedand distant land. Paul seemingly has a tenuous grip on reality. He sees visionsof an unreal, fantastic land, and Nikka, a blue-tinted hallucination of a girlwho claims to be his sister, insists on keeping him company. Living apart fromhis mother, with whom he has a strained relationship, Paul tries to keep up anormal life with frequent visits to his therapist. When a sword-wielding warriordisrupts a session, Paul is flung into Mirandus, the world of his visions. Witha clear flow between panels, the implication of time passing in a montage ofwide, epic scenes of Mirandus; brilliant and emotive color schemes; and acleanly minimal drawing style provide a strong visual aspect to the story.Inexperienced graphic novel readers will easily be able to follow the flow ofdialogue and the clear depiction of speech and narrative bubbles provide furthervisual literacy cues. While the discussion of good versus evil is a bitheavy-handed despite attempts to subvert the binary, the overarching theme ofdestiny as depicted by the Narrative adds an intriguing twist. Paul'srelationships with Nikka and other characters are intriguing but the pacingmakes them feel rushed. Paul is biracial (Chinese/White); the humans of Mirandusappear mostly White. (This book is available now as a digital edition, withprint release currently scheduled for May 2021.) A dramatically dark fantasythat will leave readers eager for the sequel.
