The Nameless City: The Divided Earth by Faith Erin Hicks
4.0
This is a fine finish to a short graphic novel series that is packed with quality. Every component of a memorable graphic novel are here; unique art design, excellent visual pacing, genuine character emotion, and much more.
I appreciate the brevity also; contemporaneously I was also reading book 15 or so of The Walking Dead, "a continuing series of horror" and was struck, not remotely for the first time in my life, by how much I appreciate a story that ends. For the same reason, I avoided online games during my video-gaming days and would hesitate to start an over-long manga series or unlimited TV show or series of novels. I prefer my storytelling experiences with some finality or closure. The Nameless City provides a thoroughly satisfying story in a compelling imaginary world. Yes, this world has potential for many further tales, but that can be left to your imagination. No doubt, the author/artist has other projects and passions that she would like to explore. She can certainly rest assured that she did a tremedous job in producing this fine series.
