"Heartwood: Non-binary Tales of Sylvan Fantasy is the first ever non-binary comics anthology, featuring 22 young adult stories made entirely by cartoonists who identify as a non-binary gender"--
g33kgrrl: I think the titles alone show why the connection is there, but I do think that if you like Speculative Relationships, you'd like Heartwood, and vice versa. One's sci-fi and one's fantasy but it's all lovely romance in the end.
g33kgrrl: While being trans and being non-binary are obviously not the same thing, and comics and short stories are not the same, I think there's a non-zero chance that someone who likes one of these books will like the other.

I wasn't feeling the first third of the book, but the last 2/3 was generally better. IDK what that's about. Some of the standouts:
"Finding Alex" - surreal mysterious metaphorical adventures that change you. yay! "Shepherd" - chill and philosophical, but doesn't try to cram too much in. (As opposed to "The Flourishing Feast" which I think was trying for something similar but turned out totally incomprehensible, and not in a way that made me want to reread more deeply.) "This Far" - wow. wow. Need to find more from this artist. "Dear Paloma" - alienating in its zaniness at the start, but then it comes together really nicely! "The Lungs of Jeju" - I wasn't into the ending (felt like the artist ran out of ideas), but I liked the rest. "Shuvah" - totally made me tear up. ( )
I really wanted to like this anthology more than I did. It's a beautiful book, with amazing cover art and gilt edges. It's a great concept; there aren't a lot of comics centering non-binary folks. But most of the stories weren't that interesting to me, or felt like half a scene from a larger story. There were a few stories I did really like: "The Beast in the Garden" (by [[Ver]]), "New Leaves" (by [[Emily Madly]] and [[Maria Li]]), "The Lungs of Jeju" (by [[Sunmi]]), and "Shuvah (Return)" (by [[Ezra Rose]] and [[Jey Barnes]]).

To the forests throughout the traditional territories of the Chinook and Puget Sound Salish peoples, where I first stepped into the silence of nature and found an adventure all my own.
