"Though this is a fairly classic sci-fi story line,Luna and Vaughn's sensitive plot and careful pacing keep it exciting, especiallyas they strip away preconceived notions and use the tale to examine thecomplexities of what it is to be human. Luna's spare illustrations match theplot perfectly, particularly his ability to bring nuance and feeling to facesrendered in a very simple style. Fans of Brian K. Vaughan's Saga oranyone who loves a good sci-fi tale will find plenty of thought-provoking stuffhere." -Booklist

Awww. Seeing Ada experience sensations for the first time was adorable, and I enjoyed the developing relationship between her and Alex. I appreciate that the obvious issues of such a relationship were addressed properly, and the cliffhanger at the end of this volume makes me anxious to see how their story will conclude.
