Until I read Heartstopper this year, I had never picked up a graphic novel before - it just didn’t seem like my thing. I LOVED Heartstopper, though, so I’m giving more a chance. Enter: Nimona. 

This was a very cute story that tugged at my heart a bit more than I thought it would. I loved that it’s in full color and the art is beautiful. Nimona herself is quite funny, but I know I would be more of an exasperated Ballister Blackheart if I had to deal with her IRL. That said, I did feel like the story was longer than it needed to be. As I got to the end, I found myself not riveted by the action and reveals but, rather, getting kind of sleepy… Still, it is certainly worth the read. 

I will also note that, since this is my year of reading only queer books, I was a little disappointed on that front. The queerness is implied, but not outright acknowledged. I hear the movie is much more gay, so I’m excited to watch it now.

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.
