Thisby Thestoop and the Black Mountain by Zac Gorman, Sam Bosma
4.0

From the moment I saw this cover, I knew I was going to like it. A cute, awesome art style with neat illustrations, oh yeah. Girl in a dungeon taking care of a whole bunch of different beasties, that makes it even better. I love how the premise is basically, you know all those dungeons heroes and adventurers go through in stories? Here's a story about the girl who takes care of all the monsters in them. It's a great adventure full of imaginative creatures.

While a lot of plot elements seem familiar, it in no way makes the book feel unoriginal or terribly predictable. It's just a lot of fun from beginning to end. It's really cool that even though this the author's first book, he's worked on storyboards for cartoons and written for graphic novels. I just find it nice when an author is capable of telling a story not only through words but also with visuals as a main focus. I can't wait for the sequel to come out.
