From the author of Spinning which I loved. This is a story set in space in what feels like the future. Lots of imagination on display here with great new things. I love the spaceship which looks like a flying fish. I did have issue with this story. To me, the girls looked similar for the most part and I couldn't keep up who was who and what was going on. It was fairly confusing for me and I'm not entirely sure what just happened. Many things are never explained. Who is Ell? What is she wanted fo...

4.5 starsI honestly wish all comics were like 500 pages and had this level of character development. So beautiful and I legit cried at certain points Watch me discuss this in my June wrap up: https://youtu.be/V8XoY3vzEaw
3.5 stars. This graphic novel was gorgeously illustrated, with some lovely art of space that I just had to take a bunch of pictures of. I liked the f/f romance aspect of it and the way it was portrayed, but I felt I couldn’t really get attached to the characters very much and the plot wasn’t the most original. Would recommend picking this up though!
I think this is probably now one of my favourite books ever.
12/21/18: Just to say that thought I read this for a long time in web-comic format, I recommend the recently published paperback version I just got from the library. Some observations: I bet the (visual) tone of it is much darker than Walden intended. This is just something that struck me after reading the larger images online, that when the images were shrunk for the book format, they got darker, of course. But for a book with sun in the title, it seems more moon than sun(ny) now. Still, after
Read here Preferably at 2am while curled up under blanket and contemplating existence. "I read that chapter you showed me. About how I should think of all the circuits and wires like they're roads. And that it's like one big map. Every part is unique, but they're all connected. I think I sorta get it . . ." Mia begins her adult life and gets a job in reconstruction with a small team which consist of two married women, a niece of one of them, and a non-binary person. But the story is no...
I still squeal with glee whenever I think about this book. Honestly, On A Sunbeam by the immensely talented Tillie Walden is such a balm for my soul and I’ve returned to it many times when I needed something to cheer me up. Set in a non-specific future--one far enough in the future where human civilizations have come and gone across it’s galaxy leaving long lost secrets--the book intertwines a present narrative of a building restoration crew with the school-age past of its newest member, Mia. Ha...
Nice art and good character development.I liked the first half, which is two stories five years apart connected by the main character. In one she is a rebellious schoolgirl experiencing first love; in the other a recent graduate at her first job, restoring old buildings. In spaaaaace. In the middle the actual plot begins to emerge and I didn't find it very satisfactory in terms of any of the characters' motivations. And I am a little puzzled as to what it means to have non-binary gender in a wor...
2.5 stars. The artwork in this was beautiful and the story was cute in certain parts but overall this was mediocre. Major plot holes took away from my enjoyment of the book and left me with more questions than answers. It used a mute character as a plot device for shock value. The pretty artwork focused more on aesthetics than creating an understandable panel. I know this is petty but at one point a hand was very clearly drawn backwards and that also took me out of the story. I’m pretty sure th...
this was so unapologetically queer, I'm happy (4.25)
This book completely blew me away. I had already read and enjoyed other books by Tillie Walden, but this book exhibits her skills both as an artist and a writer at a completely new level. The pacing of the story, the style of the story, the plot and the emotions of the story are all braided into a completely seamless whole. Has anyone optioned the film rights for this story yet? I felt like I was hearing a soundtrack playing in my head as I read it. The story focuses on two different emotional t...

So don't you ever say I'd hate you because that's stupid and not true.I NEED YOU ALL TO GET OUT OF THIS PLATFORM, I WANT TO BE ALONE. This novel hit me right in my feelings and I'm sobbing right now.Through the deepest reaches of space, a team reconstructs beautiful and crumbling structures, rescuing minutely the past. When the new integrant, Mia, joins the group, the tale trave...
