Lumberjanes: Unicorn Power! by Mariko Tamaki

I'm doing this new thing, where if I didn't finish the book, I'm just not doing stars. (It's not that I'm giving zero...) But I need to put this on the list so I remember that I wasn't into this. I just love the graphic novels and wondered how this would translate. For me, personally, it just didn't. I got to page 60 before I realized it was feeling like a struggle and I was forcing myself to finish and I have too many other books to attend to. What it also really did for me was show how well the graphic novels work- how they manage to do character development subtly and with imagery; how they really allow everyone to shine at once. How much the art really does to make the story! I am sure there are people who love Lumberjanes so much they will take everything they can get, and that's awesome- I'm glad this is there for them! I think they will really enjoy this. But it just wasn't what I was looking for.
