This story was a delight to explore, and ND Stevenson's art and storytelling is fun and unique. Nimoma and Ballister's friendship truly carry this story, and seeing their relationship grow is lovely. They're both funny and witty, but also just very hurt people who learn to find comfort in one another's friendship. The story does end on a bittersweet note, but doesn't leave you without hope either. I only wish there was more to read!

I’ve had my eye on this one for a few years, and a friend recently lent it to me because she loves it. It was fun seeing the way that Nimoma’s chaotic energy helped or overshot Blackhart’s plans, as well as how Blackhart’s supervillain status began and the ways he ran with it. It wasn’t a wow-me book but it was such a fun read!

This was a really good graphic novel! It was funny, heartfelt, and I really enjoyed Nimona and Ballister’s characters and their dynamic. They definitely remind me of more mentally stable versions of Jinx and Silco from Arcane lol.

This is easily a 5-star book for me but nothing prepared me for

the major angst at the end of the book

. This is definitely a favourite now and I think I'm going to rewatch the movie for the 3rd time now lol
