Slow Storm by Danica Novgorodoff
3.0
The water colors are remarkable. I'd really like to see more books colored this way. The colors shift slowly or suddenly in a way that you certainly don't see in digitally colored work. The colors also accentuate the tooth of the paper in a way I don't remember seeing in other books. The story could be told just by the tonal shifts in color.
I wish the writing behind the story and characters had the same depth and nuance as the colors. While I found myself caught up in the emotions of any one moment, I struggled to understand why the character was there or reacting the way they did. The art keeps you engaged with the characters, but the writing struggles to fill in the details outside the panel.
