This graphic novel was an absolutely stunning fantasy stand-alone with beautiful illustrations.

 It had it all - family relationships and the difficulties they bring, discussion of wealth and poverty, magic, royal intrigue, murder, and of course sea monsters 🌊

Loved the style of art, that’s why I picked this up. Definitely NOT a YA book. It had many adult themes. I just wished the story had more of an ending. I know it was based off a folktale but if the author was already retelling it might as well flush it out a bit more🤷🏽‍♀️

Amazing art style and an interesting retelling of a folk story. The ending was a bit rushed though
