Two Graves by Genevieve Valentine

2.5

Death and the Maiden go on a road trip. The maiden might also be Death. The big bad might be Persephone. I honestly had no idea what was going on for most of this graphic novel, and even less idea why there kept being three-page prose essays that only tangentially related to the topic, by guest writers like N.K. Jemisin, too! I often love Genevieve Valentine's writing (The Girls at the Kingfisher Club is still heart-stoppingly amazing), but I think this was just a shade too abstract for me to really get into. I could sort of see the themes she was dealing with, and what she was subverting, but to be honest it never really landed for me. I could try reading it again, but have to send it back to the library. Gorgeous art by Wu and Doyle, though!
