Isola was a series I kept wanting to read and when I finally saw it up on Hoopla I had to read it. Was it worth the wait? Well...

Isola is about a warrior protecting her queen. You've seen this story a million times before. However, this time her queen is transformed into a tiger. So now they work together to survive in a world hellbent on taking them out. Will they survive or is this the end for our duo?

Good: the art. Just...wow. Art can go a long way to improve a series and this one does. I also thought the struggle of protecting someone you love is great. You feel actual stakes.

Bad: the story sometimes is hard to follow. Creatures and mystical people and beast pop out of nowhere. Also, it does hit one or two cliche moments that make it feel less interesting if it went in a different direction.

Overall this is a stunning book to look out. While I enjoy the characters I do hope for the plotting to become stronger. A 3.5 out of 5.
