Username: Evie by Joe Sugg
3.0

(RATING UPDATED 17/12/16)
Actual rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars

Now, I'm not the type for "Youtuber books" at all, but I find that if they are written in the fantasy/sci-fi genre, then there would be a chance I'd pick it up. That was my case for Username: Evie.

I quite enjoyed this. There were elements that could have been improved in terms of plot and world building, but when it came to characters there was a good emotional depth there compared to our graphic novels I've read in the past.

PROs:
- I love Evie as a character. Her struggle really hit home and made me connect with the story in a great way.
- I love her dad <3 Dang it, this makes me want to cry
- <3 Lionel <3
- The art style was amazing, you could see that a lot of effort was put into it
- The concept of the alternate world was so interesting

CONs:
- I bloody hate Mallory. Even after the end. I feel like a lot was done with her as an antagonist, but barely any resolution later.
- Again, I think may world building and Evie adjusting more in the world before Mallory came along would have been better, but I understand that graphic novel art does take up lots of time
- I think some of the dialogue could have also slightly been improved to not sound too cheesy.

Overall, this was a decent graphic novel. I enjoyed my read experience. I will probably pick up the sequel in the future.
