What did I just read?
Abductions, UFOs, Death. And those are the things I was able to grasp. The author begins the novel with a preface explaining the inspiration for the book: a supposed encounter with a spaceship in the middle of the night one evening when he was young. What follows is a series of trips back and forth between the real world and the ‘cloud hotel,’ a place where young people are chosen to visit. A special place filled with distant memories and a girl who has been stuck in limbo for a long time.
I could not grasp a moral, a plot, or an over-reaching arc. If you have a chance, please read and help me out!

I know nothing about graphic novels but your review was a breath of fresh air. I like it when people honestly say what the book was like. The first illustration looks very pretty though. It reminds me of Japanese cartoons, a bit. But again, I’m not an expert there either š

First, thank you so much for stopping by!
Yes, the individual panels were very cool, but I couldnāt make heads or tails of the big picture!
I started getting into graphic novels only about a month ago, and am finding thereās a very wide range. The usual superhero, but also fantasy, romance, mystery. My library has a very good selection.

My pleasure š I also noticed the pictures can be different. I still imagined them the way the were in my childhood, way less detailed. It’s a whole world, of course, and I know nothing about it. Why did you decide to start exploring this genre?

Based on “real events”, eh? Maybe this author was tripping when they wrote it, hence the no “anything”?

I couldn’t tell if the lack of over-arching plot killed this book for you or made it more interesting hahah
