3.5- Beautiful artwork, clever details, intriguing characters, and I loved the ending. Also Kippa, Kippa is the best. This is a great introduction to a complex world. However, there was so much world-building and information to process that I initially felt confused and struggled to follow what was going on. It’s clear that this is only the very beginning for Maika and I’m excited to see how the story continues. Monstress is a graphic novel with a strong and detailed story to tell, looking forward to the next installment!
