jugglingpup 's review for:
Lupina, Volume 1

I got an ARC of this book.
I don’t really know what I expected from this. I liked the name so I gave it a shot.
The art is sometimes hard to figure out what is going on, but that added some style to it that I appreciated. There characters are distinct, though they weren’t always introduced in a way that made any sense. If you catch every little detail and are great at names, this will be less of an issue for you.
The plot itself was ok. I wasn’t really invested. There was some violence early on, some emotional trauma. Then cute wolves appeared. So I liked the wolves, but it didn’t make any sense why the wolf actually came to help. Maybe that is revealed in the next book, but based on book one it just felt an easy explanation to how the girl lived. It is also an example of why I don’t like fantasy, everything is a little too easy with magic and magical creatures coming to save the day.
This doesn’t really stand out for me. I don’t really have strong feelings either way on it. It is not outstanding in plot, characters, art, or really anything. It isn’t bad, but it doesn’t really do anything. So I am left trying to write a review on something that took me ten minutes to read and made me go “eh, guess I finished that”.
The best part was probably learning that all the people involved are queer. That warmed my heart.
