New York : First Second, 2013.
170 p. : chiefly col. ill. ; 21 cm.
After reading Boxers, I had to read this companion to it - which tells the same story, but from the point of view of a young Chinese, Christian convert who find herself on the opposite side of the violent Boxer Rebellion as the hero of Boxers.
All that I wrote in my review of Boxers below, applies to this book as well. It's a great read and has the same captivating mix of history, supernatural, familial and social conflict, etc.
I'd definitely recommend reading Boxers first, it sets the stage well and makes it satisfying when the narrative exactly overlaps in several key scenes.
