I read this after watching (and absolutely obsessing over) the movie! I read that it was very different from it's source material, so I treated the graphic novel as separate and I'm glad I did. It IS a completely different story and I really enjoyed it! I will say, the ending left me wanting a bit more, and that is quite similar to my opinion of the movie. The book is significantly less gay so just keep that in mind!

It was super fun seeing which pages in the book became scenes in the movie, even though the context wasn't always the same. All in all, I had a good time with this and recommend it!

Al principio no me convencía mucho, pero cuando vas avanzando con la historia... Más quieres a Nimona, más te gusta Ballister y menos manía le tienes a Lomodorado.

Y el final cierra muy bien la historia. Estoy deseando ver la película, todo el mundo dice que es una adaptación magnífica🖤💛

I read this after watching the movie and wow! Two very different stories with the same characters. (Makes me wonder about the web comic…) This doesn’t take itself too seriously but still has serious moments. Very goofy and very enjoyable!! The concept itself is so very interesting. Mixing the classic fantasy figures of knights and monsters with science and technology. I wish that dichotomy had been explored a bit more. It would have been very fun to see how else they mix!

My only note is that Stevenson should not have included skin-walkers, since Native folks have been pretty adamant that they don't want non-Natives using that lore.

Otherwise, I really enjoyed it!
