Swamp Thing: Twin Branches
by Maggie Stiefvater
I think this was fine. Kind of surprised some people so harsh on it.
As a Swamp Thing book it's not really much about him. He's there in the overall presence but doesn't make his grand entrance till the end. Instead it's about the Holland brothers story of living their teenage life trying to be who they are. And it's kind of cool to see the comparison of people to plants and how we live and bloom similar to certain flowers.
This is a YA story if I ever read one. Kids being dicks, kids falling in love, lots of cursing, sexual tension. All the good stuff. As far as a YA story it's solid enough, characters act like teenagers I know. I also thought the art was cute when needed to be, and the display of the Swamp Thing was terrifying when it needed to be.
Not the greatest swamp thing story or anything but overall a fine YA story that includes Swamp Thing. A 3 out of 5.
