A review by geekwayne
Djeliya by Juni Ba
2.0
'Djeliya' with story and art by Juni Ba is a graphic novel inspired by West African folklore.
Mansour Keita, the last prince of a dying kingdom, is going to meet a great wizard with his Djeli, or storyteller. As they travel, they meet others in person and in story.
I like the concept of this, but the execution left me flat. The story is a bit hard to follow as it jumps around. The art felt a bit too cartoonish and the coloring was kind of flat and dimensionless.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from TKO Studios and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
