Norroway Book 1: The Black Bull of Norroway by Cat Seaton
4.0
A childish familiar beginning takes a very dark turn in the few pages before the title, setting expectations for a 'look-beyond-the-surface' kinda read. It never quite hits the same tone again, but this is only Volume 1.
The feisty heroine lacks depth--at least no opportunities to explore it are shown in this first volume--but is likable enough to keep interest. The artist made a fantastic job with the expressions, specially with the less-than-human characters.
I'm curious about the setting, which starts fairly relatable and then introduces magic as a normal part of the world. Many questions are thrown at the end of the book, right on the verge of keeping me hooked or tossing it away because it's so confusing. I'm hooked, for the moment.
3.5 rounded up.
