The City on the Other Side
by Mairghread Scott
The City on the Other Side by Mairghread Scott, illustrated by Robin Robinson is a wonderfully illustrated tale about a girl who lives a very sheltered and boring life. All she wants is to get a bit dirty and go on an adventure when suddenly, she finds herself on the other side of the vale! She is then thrust into a quest where the fate of the world depends on her.
The artwork of this graphic novel is lovely! To me, that was the best element. I loved how fun and colorful each panel was. The Seelie and Unseelie characters themselves were so interesting! I loved seeing new ones every now and again, even if they didn't play much of a part, other than just being in the background.
I was also a bit surprised with the slight violence. For some reason, I just wasn't expecting it in this graphic novel.
For main characters, Button was by far my favorite. He was so funny and I just loved his facial expressions! I also really liked Isabel and how quickly she was ready to dive in.
The overall story was interesting. While a bit predictable, I would still definitely recommend this one! It would be a great one to pick up and read through in one sitting when you're looking for something fun and light.
