Cinnamon Soul – Book Review

Arden Skye6 months ago6 months ago17 mins

A crime fantasy book that technically reads like a youngster’s adventure, yet the themes and language are definitely for adults.

On the left, the back cover. Text: "Sometimes it's easier to disappear into a sci-fi novel than to deal with the disappointing people in your life! The solo debut of writer/artist Kazimir Lee is an atmospheric and profound coming-of-age story about a Malaysian-American teen trying to carve out her own identity in the uneasy space between friends and family."  "Masterful... Azar's earnest struggle to bridge emotional distances is something every reader will relate to." -Rebecca Mickey Mock artist of Compass South and Salt Magic. "Low Orbit is a tender and evocative graphic novel about the pain and joy of all our relationships. You will be drawn into Azar's world with every page. An exquisite debut." -Tillie Walden author of On a Sunbeam. A purple background with objects around the text: a muffin with a candle lying next to it on a plate, an entry ID for an event reading "4-DAy-PASS, star", a pirate-like figure can be seen running in a galaxy; a charger; a moth; a crescent moon and a branch with leaves.

The protagonist, Azar, can be seen floating in the air above a purple-lit village at night with a river flowing in the middle. Azar is wearing baggy clothes, has a short pony tail, a phone attached with a charger to her trousers, and is wearing glasses, while being immersed into a book. A bright, yellow moon in the top right corner with the title "Low Orbit" by KAZIMIR LEE in the middle of it.

After the sci-fi novel became part of Azar’s story, I was sure there was gonna be a twist in there somewhere, like she’s in a coma and then she’ll swim through the world of the novel, which will help her later on in real life…

"Veronika is 24 and tired: of her crummy boyfriend, of living with her parents, of feeling stalled out while everyone else moved on. With a new job coding software for a “wellness” company that makes brain-boosting energy drinks, she finally has a chance to turn things around. At this rate, Veronika may never feel tired again! But as she gets more comfortable with the office and the people in it, Veronika stumbles upon surprises in the dark that leave her questioning everything she thought she knew about the world… and about herself."

A slice-of-life story that turned dark and intriguing quite quick and kinda unexpected (pacing-wise). In a good way. I loved the daily life parts, and the …

“My fake boyfriend” is a fun movie for both heteros & gays, with a good message that wasn’t forced in, but also shows the dangers of social media and technology.
