I picked this up at the library, despite not knowing much about the main series of novels. The art style and character dynamics drew me in, and I'm very interested in diving into the rest of the books. I think I'll wait to read the other graphic novel, as these prequels seem better suited to someone already familiar to the world and the characters. Still, this story painted a vivid picture of the fictional empire and living under its martial law, and I'm eager to see if my library has a copy of the first book.
