Champion: The Graphic Novel by Marie Lu
3.0
It's all coming back to me now.
Champion hurt me in ways I can't explain so this 'original' trilogy (fuck off Rebel) really means a lot to me.
However, the issue of adapting a novel to a graphic novel is that oftentimes it gets lost in translation or a chunk of the novel really gets lost literally. Which is kinda understable since it is difficult to compressed a long novel to a shorter graphic novel.
So, it's obvious why I only gave this book a 3-star rating. I wasn't convinced. Though the nostalgia is there, it's not enough. I haven't experienced on this graphic novel the rollercoaster of emotions I felt on the novel.
The art is still cool though and I still I liked this overall.
