"Eighty Days" was a brilliant story! A story about a man who just wants to fly but gets swept up in a bureaucratic war of the skies. While I don't think you need any preexisting knowledge of planes before going into this, I did have to look up a decent amount of things to make sure I was understanding the story fully. Jay, Fix, and Sable are all flawed but bring out the best in each other which I admire greatly in a story. The romance is tender and not overdone, and the friendships are withstanding and unapologetic about their flaws. I'm happy that Sable was able to admit she was on the wrong side of the war.

The art style is traditional in nature which creates a beautiful flow to the narration. The only downside to this is that some of the more busy scenes (battles for example) got a bit too simplified due to the nature of the brushstrokes and became a bit confusing. The character designs are beautiful and imaginative. I like how overbearing and fearsome The Maestro was drawn.

Overall this is definitely something worth having in my library's collection!
