I honestly don’t know where to start with my review of this book. Once again, a graphic novel has turned my whole world upside down (in a good way, though). Whenever I read a graphic novel these days, most of them really fascinate me in a way that I can’t really muster into words and it makes me wonder why I haven’t been into them when I was a kid. But as I always say, there is a time for everything and nothing is ever too late.

East of West, I thought, wasn’t really my kinda story. I rarely read books that are politically connected or sorts, but this book, though, has been a really good start for me. It talks about not only politics but love and death and everything else in between. The art is very good, to the point that it made me adore the characters even more. This book may start out to be a little bit confusing but will definitely pick up the pace and will make you crave for more. This book is certainly unlike any other, the creativity in the art and the story itself was fascinatingly incredible in so many ways!

Honestly, I don’t know how I would be able to write a review about this book without spoiling any parts of the book for all of you and so I am very cautious upon writing this post. I am also cautious that I haven’t given the entirety of the book that is very wonderful its justice because I cannot muster into words how beautifully written and drawn this novel is. With that, I am hoping that this review would make you read it for yourself to judge.
