One Trick Pony by Nathan Hale
4.0

I received a free copy of this graphic novel from Amulet/Abrams & Chronicle in exchange for an honest review.

This a fun, entertaining graphic novel about a dystopian world where strange alien creatures have ravaged the earth of its technology. Humans are now struggling to survive and one girl called Strata lives in a community that tries to salvage tech before it can be found by aliens. When Strata finds an amazing robotic horse called Kleidi she ends up being chased by the aliens and fighting for her life.

I really enjoyed this graphic novel. It was fun and entertaining and it was also humorous as well. I definitely found myself laughing a lot of times during it and i really enjoyed that aspect of it. The drawings in the graphic novel were also a lot of fun and really nicely detailed - I haven't read a lot of graphic novels but I definitely liked the style of the finished pictures. The proof copy I had was in black and white but the finished copy will have grey and gold shading and I think this will look wonderful.

I enjoyed the world a lot and the idea of these weird aliens taking all the human tech. It made the world and the story a big adventure and gave a great intensity to the story. I enjoyed where it went in the end as well and how it all wrapped up.
I would have liked Kleidi to be somewhat restored at the end but I guess not
