magicandmystery 's review for:
A Passage to Shambhala
by Jon Baird
This is the first graphic novel that I have ever finished though I have started several others. I would give it some credit for being engaging enough to see me through a genre I wasn't certain of. I got this novel for Christmas from my husband after falling in love with the cover of the novel in Chapters.
This novel is a victorian style adventure story in the vein of Indiana Jones and other treasure hunting adventurers. I recently bought the board gamae Fortune and Glory and this reminded me of it a lot. Apparently, I have a thing for treasure hunting adventures!
The novel follows a rogue set of men during WWI as they follow their leader on an adventure to save his brother. His brother has been stricken ill be apparently discovering Shambhala in the Arctic. The adventure traipses around the world as they get into various shenanigans, collecting even more unusual characters and eventually discover what they are looking for.
I was surprised to discover by reviews that people either love or hate this novel. I suppose it is a bit slow to start and full of a fairly intense story. It is certainly not a novel you would want to give to children despite modelling itself off of old children's stories. If you can get through the slower bits it is definitely worth the read. I was sad when the novel ended and can't wait for the next adventure.
