nixwolfwood's review against another edition
4.0
I won a copy of this book from a giveaway, and was really excited about it. It's been a long time since I've read a graphic novel, so I started reading it immediately. My son knows when I'm reading, he can grab a book and come sit next to me... except he saw the pictures, so he wanted me to read it to him. Not a good idea! Haha! I had to change words... and eventually kick him out of the room, with promises of juice (which he had to drink in the kitchen - mwahaha!), so I could read it without distractions.
I was originally drawn to this from the artwork on the cover. Unlike most books I review, I'm allowed to judge this one by it's cover! Heidi Black's drawings were really awesome. Every page, the artwork stayed consistently awesome - and I am definitely going to have to check out more of her work.
The story line was also pretty interesting. There were maybe a few parts where I found the wording to be a bit off, but nothing bad.
I do wish it was longer - and I can't wait for the next installment to find out what happens.
