The pacing is absolutely busted and the dialogue isn't much better. Beautiful art though.

'Sera and the Royal Stars, Vol. 1' by Jon Tsuei with art by Audrey Mok is a graphic novel I found original and captivating.
Sera is a princess and warrior in the Empire of Parsa. Her father is fighting her uncle and her mother has been dead for years. She receives a vision with an urgent quest. Leaving her family at this time is bad, but not fulfilling the quest is worse. She must find embodiments of the constellations and restore them to the heavens.
I loved this story and the concept at it's heart. Sera is a very capable protagonist and I loved the embodiments of the constellations. Audrey Mok does great art here and I loved her character designs.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Vault Comics, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

Beautiful artwork, middling plot. Not interested enough to continue the series.

Unread shelf project 2023: book 19.
I… hmmm. Ok. I’m not sure what I feel about this book. I read one of my friends’ reviews (shoutout to Lissibith!) while formulating my own thoughts, and I tend to agree with her. The art was fantastic but the story arc just… was not that great. I loved the color work too. Maybe the plot will improve in future volumes but I’m undecided as to whether I’m interested enough to pursue reading further…
