Dryad follows the story of twins Griffon and Rana, and their smokin hot parents (just sayin). Yale and Morgan travel to the tiny, rural town of Frostbrook in hopes of peace and normalcy for their twins Rana and Griffon.
After invaders attack the town, they are forced to head back to the life of high-stakes ops and cybernetics they left behind.
With a mix of magical fantasy and cyberpunk thematics, the premise for this novel was really intriguing. There’s a lot of action but not a whole lot of explanation into the backstory and plot of the book, which left me feeling more confused than satisfied. I feel that the story so far has been a little rushed an inconsistent. I am hopeful that maybe they will slow it down a bit in subsequent issues and lay a little more groundwork for the story. I’m willing to give it a bit more time before I decide to continue on in the series.

I didn't quite know what to expect in this graphic novel, but I found myself really enjoying it.
I was gripped from the very beginning and our main characters are set to have much potential. I will definitely be continuing with the series.
The only downside I could point out is that I felt a little bit lost midway through the volume. There were references to past events we didn't know about yet and some new characters were introduced. Despite being engaged with the story I felt lost. However, it is somehow understandable as it is the first volume of a series.
Definitely recommended!
I received an e-ARC of this book through Net Galley.
