Eighty Days
by A.C. Esguerra
adventurous
dark
hopeful
medium-paced
The E-Arc of Eighty Days was kindly provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This has not altered my opinion of the book.
I really enjoyed this! The artwork is beautiful, even though it is at times difficult to read (especially fighting scenes). Do not be fooled by the stunning and colorful cover though, this is a darker story that has war and oppression as its backdrop. That being said, the main focus of the story is the blossoming love and the hopeful quest for freedom.
I found the story captivating. I was immediately intrigued by the pilot Jay and his growing relationship with Fix, a thief turned radio operator. I also really loved Sable’s character and following her as she rose in the enemies’ ranks. The war used as a backdrop for the story seems to be based on WW2, and the organization AVO who has replaced governments and who controls the skies reeks of fascism. I think the author blended the love story at the heart of it all with the rally against oppressive governments and the fight for freedom really well! I highly recommend this graphic novel.
