Nimona by ND Stevenson
4.0

This is the first time I've ever read anything like this. I've never been a huge comic fan so I didn't really have any expectations, I just knew I needed to read one to tick a box for a challenge and this seemed to be appearing on my feed a lot.

I actually ended up really enjoying this entertaining and quick read. There are moments of pure hilarity and I loved how sassy Nimona was as a character. I also liked how the themes of hero/villain were approached in the story, breaking from the more traditional approach. There were also plenty of sad moments and I enjoyed reading a little about Nimona's background.

I thought the illustrations were excellent and I liked the use of colour to represent different locations and stages in time. I thought this was a really well written and creative piece that I found myself really enjoying, despite it being outside of my normal comfort zone.
