Brielle and Bear: Volume 1 by Salomey Doku
3.0
emotional hopeful fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I absolutely love the diversity in this book. The inclusion of a Female Main Character with both Vitiligo and Heterochromia is something unique especially with how seamlessly it was done. Honestly until Bear mentioned it in the dialogue I didn't even notice her unique looks. Also the depth of Bear's character as well as his struggles with dyslexia are powerful. The coloring of the backgrounds line up very well with what is going on in the story. That being said, something about it just felt unfinished, like it was almost more the concept or outline of a story than a fleshed out story. So much was presented in such a small amount of time but very little if any of it explored . There is so much potential here.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC.
