The Ballad of Ronan: Part One by Vito Delsante
3.0
Aisling is an orphan with no idea who her parents are. She runs away from the orphanage and meets Ronan, who can't even remember who is he or where he is from. They both seem to have some strange connection to magical energy that they can't explain. The priest from the orphanage is involved with a secret society, and he seems to know something about the strange creatures Aisling has seen.
I liked the artwork in this graphic novel. It has an ethereal quality that reflects the urban magical setting. I liked the characters pretty well. It would be interesting to see them develop through the rest of the series. I especially liked the mystery of the plot. There are a lot of questions in these first chapters. Aisling has no idea that there is magic in the world, but she keeps seeing all these weird things that she can't explain. It's very intriguing!
There is some violence, but not too bad. However, there is some profanity, and that annoyed me quite a bit. I probably won't continue reading the series, because I just don't want to see all that cursing.
