Thank you, DC Comics, for allowing me to read Galaxy: The Prettiest Star early!

This story was beautiful and the artstyle? Phenomenal!

Thank you to NetGalley, DC Entertainment, DC Comics, and Jadzia Axelrod for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Taylor is the Galaxy Crowned of her planet (basically the equivalent of a princess). She must hide on earth with a human disguise in order to remain safe from an enemy alien race.

When she meets Kat, she finds that being her true form and female self is what is meant to be. She doesn't want to hide as a human boy any more. With the exploration of love, self, and finding what's truly important in life, Taylor broves to be a dynamic character through which the reader can really see how others may struggle with self-identity.

Also, their technology is grown in the ground, and there is a talking dog that is rather cute, but also creepily annoying.

An excellent stand-alone graphic novel (with potential for more, though unnecessary), featuring core values and importances that young people struggle with every day. An exquisite color pallate with gorgeous illustrations. A highly recomended read for LGBTQ+ teens, but anyone interetsted in reading a phenomenally well-written story.

I think teens are really going to like this one. There is great LGBTQ+ representation. The storyline is good, the color palette is great & there is a cute talking dog!

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC!

This was an awesome read. Loved the queer representation and the story line lended well to the themes that the comic explored. Extra star points for adorable talking Corgi companion. I loved the art work and l know it'll resonate well with YA readers. The colouring was aesthetically pleasing and the art style was really cool. So often YA is put through an adult lense, and this seemed to be written for the age group it's intended for which is refreshing. Also the feelings of hopelessness were really spot on and we love to see realistic rep especially when it comes to feelings. Screw Buck though.

DC Pride offerings this year are already awesome and I am so happy we are getting this juicy queer rep.

Thank you to NetGalley and DC Entertainment for an early copy in exchange for an honest review.

A secret identity, a new romance, and finding the strength to be yourself. The story follows an alien princess who is disguised as a human boy to not only test her powers but to keep herself hidden. Taylor Barzelay has the perfect life, he’s good looking, has great grades, and is a starting position on the basketball family. He’s got a loving family and a cute corgi.... but this is all just a cover. In reality Taylor is actually the Galaxy Crowned, an alience princess from the planet Cyandii who is in hiding as a survivor of an intergalatic war. For six years Taylor has been doing her duty and hiding as a boy on earth but all of that changes when she meets Metropolis girl Katherine aka Kat Silverberg. Kat is confident, beautiful, and fun and Taylor finds herself falling for her. Now she’ll have to find out if she is willing to risk it all to finally be herself and reveal herself to the one girl she is falling in love with. But revealing herself means opening up to new enemies and danger... but maybe it will be worth it all. This was such a charming and sweet story about gender identity and the romance was just so cute. I absolutely adored the artwork! IT WAS STUNNING! Definitely give this one a read!

I've read the DC teen titans graphic novels, but I actually liked this more! I was disappointed in the quality of my e-copy, the art was very blurry so I could not fully see it. This made it more difficult to read. I liked the color scheme but often couldn't tell what was happening. I loved the LGBT+ rep in this and would recommend to any of my LGBT+ friends. Taylor and Kat's relationship was beautiful. If you need any more convincing, there's a cute talking dog in this too!
