olivia_piepmeier 's review for:
Boxers
by Gene Luen Yang
I really like the art. The colors are flat (no shading) but work so well. They're mostly neutral until water or god-stuff comes in to play, which emphasizes the fantasy world in Little Bao's mind.
The story didn't wow me. It's fine. It's fairly violent in places, but of course it is it's about war. Little Bao starts off as this kid who likes Spring fairs and operas and is slowly turned into a rebel killing machine to save the China he knows. It's not really a happy story, but the art makes it bright and lovely for what it is.
I know nothing about the Boxer Rebellion, so I'm definitely going to read up on it as well as read the other book out of curiosity.
