Saga is one of the most beautiful graphic novels out there and an absolute classic from the get go. It's about war, parenthood, love, sacrifice, and friendship... in space! If you've been curious about this genre and didn't know where to start, I highly recommend Saga.

A spoiler free book review of A Memory Called Empire and A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine - a stunning work of science fiction. Available in bookstores everywhere on 2 March 2021. My thanks to Tor Books and Netgalley for the ARC. Also, in the video I describe it as Star Wars meets Ready Player One when I meant Star Trek meets Enders Game - and my only excuse is that my brain is currently mush and I couldnt wait to reshoot this video and publish it because Im super excited about this book! Sorry if that bothers you, please save your energy and refrain from leaving rude comments, thanks.
