Beautiful, poignant, and deeply considered story & world. Come for the girls with swords, stay for the analysis of the powers of stories as weapons, and as tools for peace.

Read Banned Books
5 stars
So thankful for Maia and eir work. I didn’t realize I needed the representation that I did. I think I’m used to always being kinda weird and unique, but it was really nice to see so much of my “normal” be kin to someone else’s. Let alone a cool comic maker’s.

Very personally attacked about picking pronouns that won’t inconvenience people too much & wont make them mad.
But I needed to hear it before sending the coming out email.

This is so fascinating. I have a LOT in common with Maia, but so far I feel like Maia was… doing it with intention? Thinking through it? & stressing about it?
On the other hand I’ve been doing gender avoidance rather unintentionally, and thoroughly by vibes. Huh.

If you can afford to, buy a few copies of this graphic version and the original version and put them in little free libraries or parks etc near you!

I loved the visuals and I loved what I started to feel, but I didn’t understand or follow it well. I’m not sure how much of that is brain fog. It was beautiful though.

Rereading books during insomnia nights continues!
Loved this a child. Really curious to see how my adult prospecting has changed or not and in what ways.
I’m Chap 3, “Lyra’s Jordan” and I always found her life so aspirational and relatable. Adventuresome, poor impulse control/exec function, instinctual, clever, lurks around historical buildings exploring and learning everything she can. Kinda the dream.
How do I get to just haunt a university with a cool library. Dream job alert !
