A Thief Among the Trees: An Ember in the Ashes Graphic Novel by Sabaa Tahir

2.0

As much as I adore the EMBER series and will happily read them time and time again, this graphic novel just didn’t do anything for me. Although it was kinda cool to see a bit of Elias’s and Helene’s time as Fivers, the mission they were on was so ho-hum; it definitely felt like there were better stories to tell. I wasn’t surprised at any of the plot points, didn’t feel attached to Tavi, and thought the art became very repetitive after a while (all the blacks and jungle greens became one big blur). All in all this was a very low-stakes low-reward read.
