I was provided with an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

4.25☆

Characters-
This book follows twins Alec and Walker who are very much so opposites and foils of each other which I found entertaining and realistic to my own relationship with my sibling. The main character Alec was really special to me due to the way his anxiety was portrayed. As someone with general anxiety and who used to experience a lot of social anxiety, I related so much to Alec and wanted to just give him a hug. I think people with anxiety could really love Alec and connect with him.

Plot-
The storyline of Swamp Thing: Twin Branches was really fun and had in my opinion a good mix of realism and science fiction elements. My only issue with the plot was that the climax and ending of the story came very abruptly and didn't give a whole lot of time for processing or really a resolution. I have noticed that this is typical of graphic novels though, so I don't really give fault to the other.

Writing and Art- 
Although writing is less complex in graphic novels, it can definitely make or break them in my opinion. Fortunately, the author did a great job with the dialogue as well as the other text in the book. Although I am not really a plant person and am not super interested in how they work, I loved the small explanations of plant life that served as metaphors to what was going on in the story. 

The art was also so pretty, and I thought the color palette was very pleasing to the eye and fit the mood of the story well.

I highly enjoyed Swamp Thing: Twin Branches- even more than I expected to if I'm being honest. If you're looking for a short and sweet science fiction graphic novel that still has realistic characters and relationships, I would highly recommend this book.
