The Fall of the House of West by Paul Pope, J. T. Petty
3.0
Aurora gets in trouble while searching for her mother's killer. The story gets a good 4.5, but the fact that I had so much trouble following what was going on in the images dragged the score way down. There were whole pages where I had no idea what was happening, and there were key scenes where I could figure out what was going on generally, but only with a lot of study, and I still couldn't get the details.
Anyway, the story is pretty great, though. Aurora's confidence and stubbornness almost trip over into tragic flaw here, and I really appreciate that--not every teenager who's sure she knows better than the grown-ups is right, and I like that her father's assistant lays that out for her pretty explicitly. A really good story that I struggled to follow sometimes.
