Nuanced and uncompromising in its portrayal of trauma after discrimination, it still serves as a cute and heartfelt fantasy adventure with lovely character building and a mature narrative.

I’m so grateful that this graphic novel exists so that the movie can exist. The movie is executed better. It was more cohesive, felt more emotional and had higher stakes.

But the characters are still here, still true to themselves and I love them so much <3

-Anti hero
-Disability and mlm rep
-reluctant father figure/found family
-villain vs good guy
-literal chaos goblin

If you love Nimona’s energy, I recommend the book Little Thieves by Margaret Owen.
If you like Nimona and Ballister’s dynamic, watch The Last of Us.

I liked this a lot more than the movie honestly. Lots of gore and violence! I like that this doesn't shy away from getting super dark. Love the art style too.

Usually I like books much better than the movie…but in this case, while I like the messages from the book and that it inspired an amazing movie, the graphic novel is much darker and serious. And quite a bit more violent. They did much more character development in the movie and built on Nimona and Ballister’s relationship more. The ending of the book is a little choppy and I had to re-read it to understand what happened. The message about not getting “stuck” or not needing to be “saved” were clear in the book, and I liked that they built on that in the movie and gave Nimona a strong voice. The artwork was cool. I liked that she keeps changing her hair :-)
