#gifted | thanks for publisher and to netgalley for sending me this in exchange for an honest review

  • incredible art style, very creative, and very different compared to the majority of fantasy graphic novels on the market
  • word building is lacking. i had so many questions; there were so many interesting elements i wished were expanded upon. there are so many creatures off handley shown; what are the species of this world? political dynamics seem to be important, but we don’t get enough information; what’s the politics like?
  • feels like a 1.5 spin off book, written for a pre-existing fanbase and universe, but alas, it’s not, it’s a first (in a series?)
  • however i do understand that a lot of my criticism aren’t to be helped, due to the untimely passing of the script writer; Hubert Boulard, known as Hubert
  • i would definitely be interested in reading the next in this series, as this is credited as book one
