It's very interesting and I finished it in a couple of hours. I would really love to see the illustrations animated; this would make a great tv show/anime!
I will definitely be reading more. It has magic, steampunk-ish-ness, and a bit of gore/blood/horror so if you're not into that last part, or I guess any of those things, then I'd steer clear of this graphic novel.
Moderate: Gore and Blood

Monstress is the story of Makia, a 17 year old who has grown up around war and she has lost so much. She has a psychic link with an entity inside of her, one that she struggles to control. She sets out on a mission and she ends up traveling/escaping with some friends after she finishes said mission.
This was really entertaining and I had so many questions after the first volume, I'm so excited to dig into the later volumes to see if my questions will be answered. I really enjoyed this comic so I'm giving it a 5 out of 5 stars!
