This has got to be one of the cutest, funniest, most refreshing teen graphic novels I have read in a while. Heck, let tweens and kids read it too, there's nothing bad in it. The little bits of humor added by the drawings really work well with this great story. The art, while not my style, is fun with the obvious influence of manga. Hooray for this comic! I want more!

Wow! This book got pretty dark. I mean, as an adult, I saw the twist coming from a mile away, but this is shelved as juvenile, so perhaps they'll be shocked. Yet, as I said earlier, it does get pretty dark, so I would recommend it for older kids and tweens. The writing style is pretty simplistic, but it's in first person and reflects the newborn-feel of the newly-made Kymera (I see what you did there). She looks like a young girl (but with wings and a tail and claws) but was recently created by her Father. It's a fun fantasy read that feels a little bit like a fairy tale at times.

A teen book that I hope teens get. I don't think teens these days even know who Calvin and Hobbes are. Well, this book is a great and quick read for adults who remember the comic. It has some great, thought provoking dialogue (I kept hearing my husband in Calvin with his view on school and the human brain). A great book for Calvin and Hobbes fans, since I don't think it will be as special to those who don't know who they are.

I found this volume much more engaging as it finds a good pace and we've gotten to know the characters!

Funny, sassy, and full of headstrong women. 3 stars because, if you know me, sometimes that character type grates my nerves.

This book started out great and ended on a cliff hanger. Usually I'm bugged by books that end leading up to a sequel, since that just seems cheap to me, but this one had such a great story and characters I really can't wait to see what happens next! Oh, sure, it got a bit too mushy for my taste, but I loved Karou's character!
