A review by suziegon
Monstress, Vol. 1: Awakening by Marjorie Liu

4.0

A breathtakingly illustrated world filled with darkness, magic, and intrigue. It's gracefully written and immersive, with a stoic lead in Maika Halfwolf who... kind of reminds me of Lightning Farron! I don't know how Liu came up with a world and story like this, but it's exceptional. And I'm someone who isn't usually into darker books.
