Boxers by Gene Luen Yang
3.0

It's been a while since I'd read anything by Gene Luen Yang, about a decade, and I was interested in this historical duet. However, I think my tastes have aged, because this fell a bit flat for me as an adult reader. The magic aspects of the story seemed to discredit the Boxers, instead of serve as a well-incorporated metaphor for their determination.
The revolution itself still remains interesting to me, and I'll probably check out the nonfiction reading list included in the back of the novel.
