Cheerful and Upbeat

This is bright, lively and amusing. Our spunky heroine is invited/kidnapped to appear on a space-based galaxy wide cooking show. In over her head, she rises to the challenge, makes friends, deals with tricky fellow contestants, and shows the Universe the wonders of pie. The pace is fast, the heroine is appealing, and the plot is straightforward. (This volume collects the first few issues, but is just the first part of the story arc.)

The drawing is crisp and bright and colorful. There are lots of little jokes and bits of business scattered in the panels and the big page splashes, so there's lots to look at. It's also breezy fun and an engaging, clever diversion. A nice change of pace.

I got this on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!
This was a really fun graphic novel! The art is super cute, the characters are very different and also cute, and the story was lovely! I loved the friendships that are developing here, and how nice and easygoing Peony is! I really can't wait to continue this story, and I have already ordered copies of volume 1, 2 and 3 for myself to find out where this story goes!
