3.5
Disclaimer: this graphic novel is marketed as being from Jamie’s point of view or as seeing Jamie’s side of the story and while that is technically true, it is not wholly true. We also see Murtaugh’s, Claire’s, Dougal’s, and some random guy named Kenneth’s POV. Also Diana literally says in the introduction that it’s from Murtaugh’s POV, and having read it, I would say that that’s correct.
Anyways … the art is absolutely GORgeous and extremely cinematic and feels very fitting to the novel itself. I also very much enjoyed seeing things from perspectives other than Claire’s, very refreshing and enlightening. Idk if I’d read it again, but I’d maybe reopen it to look at the art more closely :)

Honestly I was just really bothered by not even necessarily the boobiness of Claire but by how they were so perky and always out 🙄 I do think it's funny that's something Diana discusses at the end though. It was also a bit difficult to tell the 3-4 main guys apart a lot of the time.
