This was a great graphic novel to read. It dives in on how we tell stories to one another and how it gets passed down from one person to the next. And tie it with the Protestant Reformation was a nice touch and made this historical story more thought-provoking and relatable. But not only was the story great to read, the artwork was wonderful to look at and made the story come to life.
Review on "When Stars are Scattered" by Victoria Jamieson, Omar Mohamed
Such an intense and moving book. No wonder it won many awards. Very real and practical. Finding it hard to write a review without giving away spoilers. If you have been living a life where you didn't have to worry if or not you will have another meal in the past 3-5 years then please read this book.
I had control over my feelings. I didn't have to count on somebody being nice to me, somebody being fair to me. We knew life was unfair. Anytime I feel self-pity, sorry for myself, it is somebody else's fault. I think of my father (multiple sclerosis). That keeps me focused, straight, clear headed and grateful.
