Lumberjanes, Vol 1 by Grace Ellis, ND Stevenson, Shannon Watters
2.0

I wouldn’t have picked this up if not for the Year of Epic Reads challenge to read a graphic novel. If this is a comic, please don’t yell at me. That’s not my area of expertise and honestly, I’m not sure what the difference is between the two.

I chose this because I’ve seen online friends say good things, and it was available as an ebook from my library on short notice.

First of all, it feels odd to rate and review something that’s only 28 pages. I almost feel like I shouldn’t, but I did finish it, so I will.

Since there’s only 28 pages, there isn’t much to talk about. I don’t know much about art, but it looked cool. I think the biggest issue here is that 28 pages isn’t long enough to do much of anything, at least outside of academic papers — in which case I’d say it’s too long. I know one main character’s name is Ripley, and the girls’ cabin leader is Jen. I think the woman they talked to is Rosie. I don’t know any other names.

Even though I read this in approximately ten minutes, it’s short enough that I should be able to retain most of the details. But that’s not the case. All I came away from this with is that there are weird three-eyed foxes and the summer camp the girls are attending is unusual in some way.

I don’t know if I’ll continue this series or not. I’m confused but I’m also curious. We’ll see what happens, I suppose.
