![]() ![]() ![]() I applaud Amy for sticking with her story and sticking with us readers too. I can’t wait to read the next installment, I can’t wait to read this one again and again and again. Meeting Tabby and Philip again is like seeing long-lost friends again and I’m overwhelmed with how much is still love this story. There is obviously so much heart and weight to this story. A quote by Neil Gaiman comes to mind “A book is a dream you hold in your hands” and I realize that not only am I holding my own dream (of reading this story again) but of Amy’s dream. I got the first book on release day and over the last week have been reading it slowly, savoring and delighting all over again at the way Amy tells her story. I kept up with the news and updates over the years and when the release date was finally announced I nearly jumped out of my shoes! To have made such a powerful impression is amazing to me. Over the last decade, I’ve thought about this story often, the art, the timbre and cadence of the story sticking with me through thick and thin. I waited for every update and read the thing all the way through at least half a dozen times before it left the internet for a quiet limbo where the author and artist Amy Kim Kibuishi continued to work away on polishing her story. I first came across The Rema Chronicles as a webcomic and fell in love instantly. ![]()
