Verdict:
I received a free digital review copy of this book from the publishers, Rosarium Publishing, via NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.
I know I normally write full reviews instead of mini-reviews when I have an ARC, but this is only a single comic issue, so I figured a mini-review would give me enough time to talk about it. :)
This is the first issue in 'The Sun Dragon's Song' series - and it's a promising start.
First off: the artwork. THE ARTWORK. SERIOUSLY, THE ARTWORK.
It's stunningly beautiful. I would frame any page from this book and put it on my wall. Wow. Just... WOW.
I also liked the slow pace to this first issue, it's very gentle, but not at all boring - which I really like.
Pretty much the only criticism I can make of this book is that some of the dialogue felt a little overly-exposition-based, and perhaps a little forced...?
But overall, that really wasn't a big problem. And I'm being a little nit-picky now, I know; but that was really the only thing that I could criticise.
I just hope the rest of the series is this beautiful! Seriously, it's hard to exaggerate just how stunning this comic was visually.
(And dragons! I mean... dragons!!!!!)
Hopefully our little hero will get closer to his dream of being a Sun Dragon Rider, and prove the a**-holes who make fun of his disability wrong! (Yes, I'm invested in this... very much so!)

I can imagine why beautiful artwork in a book just makes things 10 times better! Might have to get into graphic novels just for that reason haha!

DeleteNow it seems like this is a wonderful graphic novel! I love the sound of this one having beautiful artwork and it being a slow but beautiful kind of novel :)
