I don't usually read graphic novels, and I've only read one once before, electronically. This was my first physical one. Picked it up bc I'm not at my own house and the power went out. I devoured almost the entire thing by book light before going to sleep. 

Just finished it and I definitely want to read more!

A sweet tale about a shape shifter kid who's had some rough times growing up and has become a villain sidekick.. Turns out there villain has a lot of ethics though and the "good guys" called the institution might not.. Where heros fall in love but end up in different sides and the kid has all the biggest powers it's a wild and adventures ride.  While cartoony and light in mode, said happens and could have triggers for some folks

I bought this book for the amazing cover art, and so, just like Jon Snow, I didn't know nothing about this story.

A story about friendship, love, loyalty, trust, respect and honor. Enemies can be friends and the people we trust may not be what we thought they were.

Nimona is such a strong character with amazing powers... I love her!

This was such an unexpected read! So good. So pure. Perfect!
