Shay's Story by Scott Westerfeld, Devin Grayson
5.0
When I first found out that they made a graphic novel from Shay's POV I was beyond excited. However, despite how excited I was, it still took me a few... years... to finally sit down and read it.
I read a few reviews ahead of time and because of this I was made aware of the fact that it was hard to tell the difference between the Uglies, Pretties, and Specials. So I went in with that already in mind, still excited to see Shay's POV, even if everybody looked the same...
I can say that I, personally, was NOT disappointed. It was great to see Shay's motivations in action; her feelings about the Smoke, the origin of her friendship with Zane, her friendship with Tally, and her feelings about David.
Let me just say that when I first read Uglies and every single time I read it after that, David just made me uncomfortable. I didn't like the way he talked about Shay (at one point he says she's "not serious like Tally" which gives me vibes of Warner from Legally Blonde) and it's safe to say that, after reading this book, my feelings were validated.
Reading Shay's story was awesome, to me, and I can't wait to read the next one!
