White Ash by Charlie Stickney, Conor Hughes, Fin Cramb
5.0
Is it wrong to like a series that going into the stereotypes that make up urban fantasy, in this case love triangles and forbidden love stories like its advertised. But maybe I like it in spite of that because White Ash presents a place and characters full of life.
Once you get past the first impressions and all, the reader sees the layers of the settings and characters. The town of White Ash is full of people who keep secrets from themselves and others. Even our main character isn't that charming. But they're all awkwardly human, full of annoyances yet find love where they can find it. Often that love is out of reach because of how big a gap can be between people. Some people really aren't that honest with themselves or others, I mean the main characters Alek and Lillian call their dads by their first names because of how disconnected they are with them.
But what happens when the town gets a visitor from a vicious predator that's tied to the town's history? And what happens when the people who are supposed to help the town are more concerned with their petty rivalries than helping others?
The art panel layouts really sell everything with how many actions and interactions come about. It was hard not to get excited or look away from it all.
