Beautifully illustrated and a gorgeous story, a melding of folklore and queerness. It's a tale of identity, acceptance (including self-acceptance) and a little bit of environmentalism too! What's not to love? Even this jaded old creature's eyes were slightly damp by the end.
I flew through it in half and hour - I hate reading graphic novels on my phone. I'll definitely be buying a paper copy so I can linger over Ostertag's delightful drawings at leisure.
