To say I was excited going into this book, would be a little bit of an understatement especially given my deep held want to bring the wonder of reading to everyone. Also I am a bit of a nerd for this type of historical fiction

Luciana Cimino's graphic novel was incredibly interesting and is the type of book I wish I saw more of. Historical Fiction, that gets history right, and also comes in the more "digestible" form of a graphic novel. Which is more likely to appeal to audiences that may have otherwise been missed which is really awesome.

The other thing I love about this book is that the fact it is a graphic novel brought me into this story in a way that I don't think would have happened had it been a traditional novel.
