gen_wolfhailstorm 's review for:
Username: Evie
by Joe Sugg
I give this a 2.5 stars.
I really liked the general idea of this story, but I'm not sure it was done as well as it could have been done. I'm not saying it's dreadful, it's just not wonderful.
I only started to get into the story after the virtual world was introduced, but that didn't last long~ Only for fleeting moments, when interactions between some characters got me emotional and whenever I took a moment to appreciate some of the stunning scenery the artist provided.
I didn't give this any higher a rating for a few reasons:
-There were quite a few moments of predictability for me, especially when it came to who the virtual characters were in relation to their counterparts in reality. This also had me unsettled because when we were back in the real world and Evie was communicating with certain characters, after dramatic events, as they were in the virtual world I got confused because... They aren't REALLY that person...
-I didn't understand Mallory's motive for why she acted the way she did... It was just so drastic and I didn't like the easy let off she had for situations that were a really big, messed up, deal. It bugged me!
-When there was fighting scenes they didn't last very long. They only covered about 2 pages, which, in relation to a graphic novel, isn't very much considering it's a lot of art, rather than text. So one minute people were brutally fighting, then the next they were having a heart to heart! And the fact that time didn't pass as long in reality was a little pet peeve of mine as I felt like if this was prolonged over the course of at least a few days in the virtual reality and reality it would have had so much hold for me and so much more could have happened, including the circumstances of Evie being missing for so long in the real world.
As well as this, I just felt like the story was rushed and the text didn't flow very well, which grieves me as it really does have potential!
Maybe a story like this is better suited for a novel rather than a graphic novel, or to be done by someone who has a little more experience in this field.
Pick it up, give it a go and enjoy!
