The Night Eaters: She Eats the Night by Marjorie Liu
3.75
Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for this advance reader's copy in exchange for an honest review.
I wish this was a more finalised review copy, it had low image quality and a massive watermark on most pages which has made it difficult for me to appreciate the artwork.
That being said, this was a really enjoyable read. The horror aspect is intriguing, while the humour and family dynamics really shone through. It touched on a lot of issues faced by first-gen immigrants, such as the struggle to balance parental expectations with your own desires, as well as the sadness at not speaking your 'native' language.
The reveals towards the end were good and the last couple of chapters were actually really touching as we see things from Ipo (the mother)'s perspective. From what I could tell, the artwork is really good, and I can see a lot of potential in this series.
Highly recommend for horror graphic novel fans
