Chronin Volume 1: The Knife at Your Back by Benjamin A. Wilgus
3.0
Another case of immediately judging the book by it's cover (which could you blame me, fellow visualists), Alison Wilgus's "Chronin, Vol. 1: The Knife at You Back" was nothing to detest, but it did not blow me away either. Instead, I felt myself feeling rather approving of the first in the series, but not enough to immediately tell everyone about it.
If it was the illustrator's goal to make everyone monotone when it comes to appearance (and even gender) I appreciate it for the equality and cohesiveness needed to right the wrongs of their time traveling adventure, but it did take some time truly identify a character as soon as they entered a page. Maybe it is on my personal part of being a budding reader of the genre, and if it is it can only get quicker in time!
I am curious about the rest of the series, but I am not going to track it down immediately. I am sure that Wilgus has something enticing in store for her readers, and for that I am continuously fascinated.
