simonlorden 's review for:

Sparrowhawk #5 by Miguel Mercado, Delilah S. Dawson, Matias Basla
2.0

I received an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I can see why those who like dark stories might enjoy this, but this truly wasn't my thing. The concept was interesting at first, but Warren is the only one in this series who talks sense, and look at where that left him. I like stories where kindness triumphs, but this one is about cruelty and trickery ruining a girl who could be good, and I just wasn't into it.

It also briefly has a speech about the evils of colonialism and how Art doesn't want to just go into a place and start killing the locals... but then she does it anyway, so I felt like that sent a pretty bad message.

And finally, this is really subjective, but while the art style is nice, the colours used didn't appeal to me at all.
