I think the content could have been expanded on, and the illustrations a little more polished. It's frustrating when the characters look too similar to differentiate. <br /><br />I haven't read that V.E. Schwab article, but now I want to find it! It sounds like an amazing read. <3Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15824987442107017.post-62879396853845189262020-10-16T09:24:28.370-04:002020-10-16T09:24:28.370-04:00It was a really interesting concept!

After a while, they'll starts combing like six issues into graphic novel to save space, and I own a few of those as well. My Scooby Apocalypse series is all graphic novels since I started late, and now I wait for them to combine single issues before getting the next one. I like for my stuff to match. ;)Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15824987442107017.post-26318173337249219302020-10-12T20:49:40.339-04:002020-10-12T20:49:40.339-04:00I love the premise behind this one but perhaps not...I love the premise behind this one but perhaps not the format, being a graphic novel. It sounds relatable for so many queer readers. I was reading the article that VE Schwab wrote the other day, about how she was well into her adulthood before finding her identity and how it evolves until queer friends find a space that they feel at home in and I thought it was a lovely analogy. It sounds like it would have worked much better as a written novel rather than a graphic novel. Sorry you couldn't have enjoyed this one a little more Linds but lovely review!Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15824987442107017.post-81131550304847678412020-10-06T20:37:50.023-04:002020-10-06T20:37:50.023-04:00Never heard of a memoire done in graphic novel for...Never heard of a memoire done in graphic novel form.
