The Tiger's Tongue Vol. 1 by Olivia Stephens, Diansakhu Banton-Perry

adventurous fast-paced

2.0

The Tiger’s Tongue is an African inspired fantasy graphic novel about two sisters who must compete to become Queen.

I enjoyed parts of this book, but it was mostly disappointing. I really enjoyed the artwork. For some reason, even though the art styles aren’t that similar, it still gave me Proud Family vibes. Something about the art style must’ve been similar because it kept reminding me of that show! The story took me a minute to get into because I was so confused! Especially in the beginning. I eventually started to get the gist of things, but I never fully understood a lot of this book. But I enjoyed the middle of the book regardless. I enjoyed the action and I did find one of the characters to be interesting even though I don’t appreciate the fact that everyone in the story manipulated them. And I hated the way this book ended. This book had some good things about it, but more bad.

I might try this author again in the future because I did enjoy some of this book and the idea of it. But the execution was lacking for me.

Thank you Mad Cave Studios and NetGalley for this arc. All opinions are my own.
