I found the book through a recommendation after reading all of Jeff Lemire's Black Hammer books, and was lucky enough to get a review copy through #NetGalley The AI of a colony ship en route to a new planet finds itself in charge of a group of kids who get attached to it as it becomes their surrogate mother. A heart-warming story, kids being kids, adults being jerks, and big emotions. I like the rustic art style, it works well with the worn, lived-in look of a space ship on a long mission, and the character's expressions are doing a lot of work in the emotional storytelling. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"Welcome to the U.S.S. Montgomery. When a separatist attack kills every adult on board a colony ship in deep space, it is up to VALARIE, the on-board A.I., to help the ship's children survive. But as they are pursued by dangerous forces, can VALARIE become more than what she was programmed to be--a savior to these children?"--Provided by publisher.

As others have pointed out, there's some serious WTF moments here, such as a ship AI with total command of the vessel, and a single mission to keep the crew safe, yet they can't stop one child from leaving when they shouldn't be...and so on.
Yet, if you can disconnect your logic centres for a few moments, overall it's a fun, if mostly unoriginal story.
The art is very good, but again, Lemire doesn't really give Walta a lot to work with. It's almost exclusively ship interiors. Walta did a good job, but not a great one.
So, there's nothing really wrong with it, but there's nothing really great about it either. You'll consume it, you'll likely mostly enjoy it, and you'll move to your next read and likely never think about it again. ( )
