Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb
.
This is the first book of the Farseer trilogy but I honestly recommend all her Realm of the Elderlings series, it is veryyyy long, not helped by the fact the French edition cut all the volumes in multiple books.
That's the state of my shelf

I already own all the two first trilogies in French but I decided to buy the English edition just fun,
I started reading that in high school and I'm still not done, back then I was reading a lot more than now and I believe I stopped reading everything else just to focus on it

. In the future we are dead, by Eva Müller,
It's autobiographical and it's about the author's fear of death,
Despite the subject it's not emotionally hard to read and the drawings are beautiful

I only own the first volume and I'm not so fan of American comics narration but it's worth it just for the drawings, I believe it's entirely done with watercolours

. When you reach me, by Rebecca Stead
.
It's a YA novel (maybe?) but it's still one of my fave book to this day. Also the author used to be a lawer/attorney so she inserted a lot of law stuff in it.
It's huuh about kids who are really into time travel

It's retrofuturism and I'll let the drawings speak for themselves

There's no English translation yet but I think there'll be one because Boulet is pretty famous
