Ever After by Olivia Vieweg

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

DNF @ 66%

I liked the art and the setting of this graphic novel a lot. I'm a sucker for a zombie apocalypse and I liked the cover to the book so I was keen to pick this one up. Unfortunately, I really struggled to get attached to the characters. Even two thirds of the way through the book I didn't care much about either of the main characters, or the struggles they were going through. Both have something going on (I won't say what, because spoilers) but while I understood one character's story, the other was still confusing and strange. I do think there was some intentional lack of clarity and maybe there's a big reveal later in the novel, but I was confused and disinclined to keep reading to find out what it was. I did like the art style a lot though, and the use of colour was brilliant. There was excellent contrast between creepy zombie stuff and surviving life, and I do think that the setting was really well shown through the graphic novel instead of relying on clunky exposition.
