The Washington Post

“…a quiet contemplation and celebration of the tenacity of the human spirit.”–Kirkus Reviews

“… an extremely accomplished debut graphic novel.” -The Quietus

“Healy is a master of stitching together narrative threads like a double helix of twinned realities.”- Washington Post

”A thought-provoking graphic novel about the exploration of the Arctic [...] Healy's narrative gains power from the interconnecting stories and a carefully chosen thematic color palette, but above all it is powered by his brilliant handling of the wordless panels where so much of the story is told.” –Publisher's Weekly, STARRED REVIEW
