Pressezitat
The illustrations by Zhang Xiaoyu have a wonderful earthy quality to them... This adaptation by Zhang Xiaoyu has masterfully captured the human qualities that Cixin Liu is so good at illustrating with words... It's another great adaptation in this series of graphic novels based on Cixin Liu's works, faithfully presenting his vision in a new format that adds depth and pathos. It is a highly effective and enjoyable version of this tale' SF Crowsnest
