"Nightmare In Savannah" is a graphic novel about four friends who, after discovering they're fairies, exact revenge on their bullies. There is queer rep (specifically wlw & ace) and two out of four of the friends are POC, which I thought was really great. The sapphic romance was so pure and sweet, I loved it with my whole heart.
Another thing I really liked about this was the art style. I saw some people on GR complain about it, but I thought it was quirky, funky, and just cool. I liked the colors that were used and how the art was utilized to tell the story. The characters all had their own unique design that made them pop off the page. My favorite characters were definitely Skye and Fae!
There were some things about this that didn't work for me. For one, sometimes the story felt a little disjointed in its writing. I felt like I was accidentally skipping pages where I thought there should've been a continuation of a certain scene, but the scene would abruptly cut to something else just when I was getting into it. This only happened a couple of times, but I had to scroll back in my ebook edition to make sure that I didn't accidentally skip over anything.
Another thing that I felt could've been done better was the ending. It felt a little abrupt for my taste, but it might work for some people. I, personally, struggle with abrupt endings.
Other than those things, this is a solid graphic novel and a quick, cute read!! It's on KU so you really have nothing to lose by giving it a go.
