Thanks to NetGalley and Oni Press for the advance copy

This was equally as delightful as the first book. Wendell is just a delight and I love him so much. This story is so tender and heartwarming but at the same time so sad and as always the artwork is beautiful!
  
4.5 stars.

I loved Grayson and Libby, and the plot was pretty good. The rest of the cast were pretty cool too. (I look forward to reading Libby and Owen's story). I loved the slow romance and Grayson's outlook on life.

I'd love to read more books by this author.

"How did this film fly so far under the radar? I think especially as a woman who grew up Christian in the South, seeing the Christ story through a heroic woman’s POV was… transformative. I love its doc-style approach to such epic material. The miracle is in the conscience."

"“Beauty,” Stendhal said, “is the promise of happiness.” James’s story pits the passion for superb objects against the operations of love and the laws of honor. In case you have not read it, I won’t be the spoiler and tell what happens to the beautiful things on the last page."

"A great and tragic love story set against the social upheavals in Russia in the 1870s. Like “The Great Gatsby,” this is a book I’ve read three times in my life. I read it maybe five years ago and realized for the first time that Anna Karenina was an opium addict."
