The Spy Who Raised Me by Ted Anderson
2.0
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher of this novel for providing me with this ebook in exchange for an honest review .
1,5 / 5
The story: ☆☆
The characters: ☆☆
The graphics: ☆
I thought this would be an awesome graphic novel when I read the plot and looked at that cover. But unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectations. I was really hoping to love this novel..
First, the graphics: they were very simple and not rememberable. Also it were only red drawings. I like the color red, but it is such a dominant color so I instantly felt a bit overwhelmed by it. Secondly, the characters. I had to think a minute about the name of the character, that's how forgettable she was. Josephine was a basic, flat character with zero to no background story.
The main issue I have with this book is the plot. Josephine Black discovers her mother enrolled her into a spy program and has literally controlled every aspect of her life since she was born. Like.. what mother does that?
Even the ending was cut short and did not trigger me to get excited for a sequel. The plot was too fast paced and lacked depth.
Luckily it only had 176 pages so I could finish it soon. If it was longer, I would've cut it short. Too bad.
