Note: I received an e-ARC for this book from Netgalley!
A beautifully illustrated French graphic novel about a British noble that is also an aspiring scientist.
I loved how each chapter was themed around a different color! However, the plot is a little lacking - it’s very quickly paced and there’s a lot of stuff happening in a short time. It was all necessary for the progression of the story, but I think this book would have benefitted from some extra pages that established the characters more.
Additionally, I liked that some of the dialogue was untranslated to indicate the different languages being used across the story!
While this book did have some downfalls with its pacing, I enjoyed it and I appreciate how unique it was! I’m looking forward for more books from the authors and artists!
