Art is fun and loosey goosey and some things can get lost but it was colorful and bold. The story is nonsensical but solid enough. Good for any martial arts fan!...more

I liked it a lot despite not being the intended audience. I liked that Iggy learned about himself, his culture, and understood how politics are much more important than people realize. Well done overall....more

I really enjoyed the format of this. I know its a webtoon-turned novel so it's a little chunky, but the page design makes it feel more intentional. I really like this art style as well! It's also sorta chunky but bold and colorful and suited the story. The story was also well written! I was really absorbed by the drama of these college hockey guys; a demographic I didn't expect to relate to. But I really cared for them by the end and I'm eagerly picking up book 2 now!...more

Not only does it have a really nice story, the art is very colorful and easy to follow. We follow Jane who is desperately trying to remain in her home by marrying the boy she has a crush on. He's taken by a mermaid and Jane decides to set out to rescue him. She receives help from several people including an old lady in town, a selkie, and from the mermaid's sisters. In the end she learns that visuals are the least important part of a person and their heart is what matters. I especially loved that she did not follow through on marrying Peter; and that they mutually agreed they were in it for the wrong reasons. The only detail I was missing was kicking her vile cousin out of her home.
Overall, a great graphic for any fantasy fan (especially of mermaids)!...more

She finds herself as possibly the only human in her school inhabited by ghosts, vampires, werewolves, and the like! It was a pretty standard story; nothing new or special stood out to me personally. A fun read for any supernatural graphic novel fan!...more

I really liked the parallel storytelling with each flashback going further and further back until we see what had happened as Pia's journey gets closeI really liked the parallel storytelling with each flashback going further and further back until we see what had happened as Pia's journey gets closer and closer to her final destination. It was done really well. The art was also lovely and I could tell what was happening. The story is beautiful and deals with loss, grief, and so much more.
Overall, a good pick for a shyer kid who could be dealing with grief. Beautiful story regardless....more

The story felt very rushed and fast paced to the point where I thought it was a graphic adaptation of a novel but I don't think it is. The characters were fine, but too many to get close to, and the plot is very chaotic imo. Fun but forgettable....more

I liked that this hadWell done graphic about a boy who's not dead and a girl whom everyone forgets teaming up to save the boy from the Hungry Ghosts. I liked that this had a message that memories of your loved ones give you comfort rather than forgetting them to ease the pain. I also liked the illustrations and story, even if I disagreed with how her father handled everything. Overall, a solid story for middle schoolers who either love adventure, food, and ghosts or for those who might need some comfort after loss....more
