Review of 'A hundred thousand worlds' on 'Storygraph'

This is one of those books where I must have read a review and thought I should reserve it. Then it came in and I had no memory of why I reserved it.

The book is set at a series of comic conventions and follows a group of people who come together from going to the conventions. I thought it was going to be a fantasy or sci-fi story, but it isn't.

It's mostly about a mother and her son, and a bit about how it's tough to be a comic book writer.

I liked the story and liked the characters, but didn't love it. I think if you're interested in comic books or fantasy and sci-fi television, you might want to read this.
