Wreath is Landfall’s tiny moon, home to a horned species of humanoids like Marko. Landfall is the largest planet in the galaxy, home to a winged species of humanoids like Alana. And while the rest of this first book follows the adventures of that baby’s parents, Alana and Marko, the overarching story revolves around the life of Hazel as she slowly grows into an adult. It’s not the picture perfect birth you might expect from a children’s fairy tale-at least, no fairy tale I’ve ever read depicts the bloody, sweaty, profanity-laced side of birth-and it marks the beginning of the story, not the end. The hype was so great that I figured the actual story couldn’t live up to my expectations. It’s recommended almost every time I see someone ask which graphic novel they should read next. It’s one of the first titles that come up in nearly every conversation about graphic novels. I’d been putting off reading Saga for a long time.
