A review by courtofsmutandstuff
Nimona by ND Stevenson

5.0

I am making my way through the huge pile of graphic novels from the library and I feel like I've been on a roll - I really liked this one, and it had been on my TBR for a while, and I'm glad I finally got around to it. I love that it is funny and modern, but also set in a medieval fantasy setting, but that setting is also incredibly modern (just no guns). I love the relationship between Nimona and Blackheart, and my good aligned heart loves that he's not ultimately a villain, but it was the Institution all along. The pace of the book is also really well done, and I wish there was a continuation of Nimona's story afterwards. 
I also think this is a great first step into graphic novels if you haven't read a lot of them, but do enjoy funny stories.
