Gray Horses by Hope Larson

3.0

First of all, let me say that I am huge fan of Hope Larson's work (and that of her husband Bryan Lee O'Malley) and I heartily suggest her books to anyone who enjoys well written and illustrated graphic novels. That said, this was not my favorite of Larson's books. I recently read Mercury and Gray Horses, read on Mercury's coattails, is obviously the older of the two. Larson takes on more responsibility as a storyteller and artist with Mercury. Gray Horses feels unfinished and the story a little too linear. One wonderful element of this book is the recurring dreams of the protagonist, Noemie. The dreams are sweet, simple and nonsensical in the way only dreams can be. I appreciated this element of whimsy as I read Gray Horses.
