The Daughters of Ys was a very interesting graphic novel. I enjoyed reading it and am a huge fan of the art style! As an avid reader of mythology/folklore, I found it interesting that this was based on an old folktale, as I was unaware of that when I picked up this book.
All in all, this was an enjoyable read. But be aware that there are some dark themes/graphic elements that younger teens or preteens might not need to see.

I am very confused by this story. Unfortunately I am not familiar with the original tale, and maybe if I had been I would have understood this book better. Frankly I found it to be strange and boring at the same time. The characters felt flat and I am still unsure of what all actually happened.
