Niobe: She Is Life by Sebastian A. Jones, Amandla Stenberg

3.0

Somewhat disappointing. The illustrations are lovely & there's clearly a ton of amazing mythology backing up the story, but it dumps us in the middle of something and then never gets around to explaining itself particularly. Like I accidentally read book 2 instead of the first one (I didn't but I had to check). It just feels like the story wanted to move too fast while still giving us a lot of action (for an into it's remarkably hard to do both & Niobe doesn't manage it at all). Maybe the next one will be better? Finger's crossed, it's got a ton of potential.
