Thank you TBR and Beyond Tours and the author for providing me with a free copy of this graphic novel in exchange for my honest opinion.

Across a Field of Starlight by Blue Delliquanti

Genre: Young Adult Graphic Novel

Publishing Date: February 8, 2022

An epic sci-fi graphic novel romance between two non-binary characters as they find one another through time, distance, and war. An amazing story that explores the complexity of human nature and what brings us together.

When they were kids, Fassen’s fighter spaceship crash-landed on a planet that Lu’s survey force was exploring. It was a forbidden meeting between a kid from a war-focused resistance movement and a kid whose community and planet are dedicated to peace and secrecy.

Lu and Fassen are from different worlds and separate solar systems. But their friendship keeps them in each other’s orbit as they grow up. They stay in contact in secret as their communities are increasingly threatened by the omnipresent, ever-expanding empire.

As the empire begins a new attack against Fassen’s people–and discovers Lu’s in the process–the two of them have the chance to reunite at last. They finally are able to be together…but at what cost?

This beautifully illustrated graphic novel is an epic science fiction romance between two non-binary characters as they find one another through time, distance, and war.

The illustrations in this graphic novel were absolutely stunning which was the reason I kept reading it. Unfortunately I think that I missed something when it comes to the whole plot, the story, the world the story is taking place in… I am not sure I understand everything when it came to all the fights, etc… Which makes me sad because I’m sure that I would have loved it more if there were more explanations around everything going on in the story. I’m not even sure about the romance, was there supposed to be something romantic between Fassen and Lu? Or were they just very close friends? I’m not too sure what happened there.

I loved the characters though, and the diversity in this graphic novel is absolutely amazing. I’m sure that someone who’s really into sci-fi and graphic novels would 100% enjoy this story.

Remember that this my opinion and that you should totally read it to make your own.
