Rose, Vol. 1: The Last Light by Meredith Finch, Ig Guara
3.0
Honestly, this was kinda a letdown. The graphic novels follows Rose, a magic user and potential guardian in a land, where magic has been outlawed. Guardians are magic wielders who bond with Khats, I'm assuming magical beasts and protect the land. For some reason, the Khats began to disappear and the land fell into poverty and what have you. The sorceress/queen, Drucilla is hellbent on eliminating all those who have the potential to be guardians and this happens to include our protagonist, Rose.
However, Rose is clueless and it's kinda annoying. She wields magic, but doesn't think she could be a guardian, often runs off to take revenge even though she can't use a sword and then suddenly accepts her role as guardian, which maybe should have been saved for another volume. Overall, just felt a little rushed.
