The ending with Grayce and the lady from the Communion

Review: 
I was looking for LGBTQ+ graphic novels one day and found mention of this book. I found it on a used book site a bit later and decided to order it.

This book was amazing! I love Hawke and Grayce so much. They were amazing characters, and it was so beautiful to watch them grow and learn from the Communion. I can't find the words to explain this book. It's bothering me. These characters were great together and apart and I loved that they wanted to stick by each other's side through everything. Even when Grayce came out to Hawke, it didn't change their relationship in a negative way. Hawke even apologized for not noticing.

I cannot explain how much I love the art style in this book. The drawings are beautiful, and I absolutely love the way the illustrator used colors in this book. Especially all the blues and pinks and such. I just thought it was amazing. I also loved the pages being black between panels when it was nighttime.

This graphic novel was everything I could have hoped for. It was gorgeous and touching with great characters. I adored it and I wish there was more with these characters.
