A review by thebooktarian
Monstress, Vol. 1: Awakening by Marjorie Liu
3.0
I got a copy of this book via Netgalley for free in an exchange for an honest review!
Monstress Volume 1: Awakening caught my eyes because of the sentence "Set in an alternate matriarchal 1900's Asia", and also because of the astonishing artwork that Sana Takeda did.
Sadly I didn't see a lot of historical references but I should had expected since it clearly says alternate. Despite that, the artwork was beautiful and I couldn't love it more!
I am not the biggest fan of graphic novels because, in my opinion, they usually lack in the world building department and I never truly relate with the characters.
With that said, Monstress Vol.1 was a bit of a disappointment but also a good surprise.
