ladynigelia's review against another edition

Go to review page

2.0

I read the whole Alvin Maker series years ago so I'm familiar with the world and the weird naming tweaks. I always knew the world had a lot of racial/racist problems but I let it slide because they were written a while ago. This just reminded me how blatant the problems are and I can't let them slide anymore. I won't be reading any of the other adaptations.
The art is solid but unremarkable.
The story does not stand alone. We have a narration shift too many times to really care about somebody. Maybe it changed between issues and I just missed it because it's a compilation. Maybe it makes more sense if you keep reading. But I won't be.
