radialtrail40 's review for:
Alright, so I am a bit late to the party with this one. The original publication of this graphic novel was 2012 but the copy I am reviewing is the 10th Anniversary Edition, due to be published in August 2022.
It isn't often I read graphic novels, but when I do, I usually fail to properly engage with them. I am happy to announce this was not the case with Sailor Twain! I seriously couldn't put this one down (which is why I am writing this review at 1 am!).
The author's simplistic, unsettling charcoal illustrations capture the dark beauty of this historical mermaid tale with ease, hooking in readers and ensuring this book is un-put-downable. The story itself is the kind of stuff that I find myself thinking about for days after I finally put the book down. I also really enjoyed the afterword, which gave some insight into the creative process behind this graphic novel and included some truly stunning colour illustrations.
I am so glad I picked up this novel and gave it a chance!
