A review by foxclouds
Anne Rice's Servant of the Bones by Anne Rice, Ray Dillon, Renae De Liz, Mariah McCourt
3.0
Personal rating: 3.5 stars
I didn't know Anne Rice published a graphic novel! I was so excited when I picked it up. For some reason I thought that I read the novel before but I didn't. The story was new to me. I worried that it might be different from reading a regular novel but Anne Rice's style was preserved in this graphic novel. It had the same spiritual, mystical feeling to it. The author's introduction to the book is very sweet as well.
The art is gorgeous! I think the art on its own deserves 5 stars! Azriel is so beautiful! I wish the same artists would do Vampire Chronicles!
Chapters are introduced by art panels and poems by Stan Rice.
I liked the novel but I can't give it a higher rating because it was short and because of that I felt disconnected from the characters. At times the plot didn't make much sense (but it does happens with Anne Rice novels - you sort of have to go with the flow), emotional connections seemed superficial, and events at times felt disjointed.
I did enjoy it still, and the ending was good. I just feel that I, perhaps, would have enjoyed the plot more if I read the novel beforehand.
