brittrivera 's review for:
Cursed
by Thomas Wheeler
I really liked this take on the Arthur legend, it feels as epic and old as the story itself while still being something completely its own. When I first picked up the book it took me a little while to get into the story because I have been reading mainly female written fantasy this year and there are definitely notable differences in reading a story written by a man.
I love the scope of the characters and storytelling and want to learn more about so many of them. I like how the ending clearly leaves room for more stories set in this world - it was my favorite part and actually got me excited about the rest of the story because I love where it led.
The art by Frank Miller was a nice touch to the story, but I didn't always feel like it added anything. The color pages were the best part because they were easy to see and particularly stunning, especially the final one. The black and white ones were sometimes hard to see especially if they spanned two pages because things got lost in the fold of the book.
I am very interested to see the Netflix show which will be both its own thing and a slight adaptation. The show was being written at the same time as the book so it will be interesting to see the ways in which they influenced each other. I hope it at least stays faithful to the ending because like I said that really was my favorite part.
