A review by joanna1905
Shades of Magic Vol. 1: The Steel Prince by V.E. Schwab

3.0

This was an interesting experience, I'm not a big fan of comics (unless it's a queer contemporary) so my main qualm with this book is the format for fantasy was difficult for me to get into. The art is fantastic but I feel it is much harder to get to know the characters when they're written in a comic format and the story feels like it goes so quick and misses a lot. Having said that this is only the first volume and probably the beginning of Maxim's story and I will absolutely be continuing to collect the bind ups as they are released!

The above criticism is also very personal to my preferences, and shouldn't reflect poorly on the actual book in any way!

Isra is absolutely my favourite character and I can't wait to see more of her! I'm also very interested to see if it changes my feelings about Maxim!
