Lupina, Volume 1 by James Wright
1.0
Disclaimer: I received an ARC of this book, my thoughts are my own.
This is a hard book to review,
I was so excited about it, I loved the cover art and as a graphic novel and comic fan it seemed like a match made in heaven. Unfortunately the story was not as good as the art.
It could be a "first book syndrome", meaning we will get all the explanation we need in future volumes, but unfortunately I will not be picking them up.
This was confusing and such a weird way to tell the story, I feel like I learned nothing, I could not even tell you what it was about. Yes her mom died in front of her, but over a hundred pages, not much happened and I feel nothing towards any characters.
It took me a while to write this review, because I could genuinely not tell you anything about what I'd read apart from the grand line, no personal thing about how the characters made me feel or certain scenes, such a forgettable story with a beautiful wrapping. All it left me with was confusion and an overwhelming feeling of emptiness, "oh it's done ?" not I want more but rather "ah moving on".
Overall it was boring, beautiful art that told a story in a poorly manner. The story telling did not do the art justice is all I am left feeling.
Such a bummer.
Hopefully other people enjoyed it.
1/5 stars
