This was a very engaging read that I finished in a day! Adapting any novel into a graphic version is truly an incredible feat and it’s a trend I can certainly get behind (think of how many new readers this version might find!). It’s been quite a few years since I last read Graceling and I really enjoyed experiencing the story again. The artwork was a beautiful interpretation of the story. My only complaint is the story did feel rushed and several things (specific storylines and some relationships) could have used more space and been more developed. 

 

I’ve been meaning to reread Graceling for quite some time, and reading this graphic novel adaptation has only made me want to reread it more. Thank you again to NetGalley and Clarion Books for the privilege of reviewing an ARC.

Disability Visibility (Adapted for Young Adults) is a collection of 17 first-person essays from disabled authors with a vast range of lived experiences. Representation matters so, so much and it’s important to have accessible narratives for every age. Whether or not you can relate to the specific experiences the authors share, you will find something that resonates with you within these pages. 

 

I haven’t read the original version yet (why is it that I always come across the young readers’ version before the original?), so I can’t say if (or how) any of the included essays were adapted from the original.
