The Steel Prince by V.E. Schwab, Andrea Olimpieri
I had not read Schwab’s novels and looked to this in the hopes of being an introduction to the series (since it was a prequel). And while I wasn’t lost, it’s clear that the world building was not fleshed out … Continue reading

Hell’s Paradise Jigokuraku by Yuji Kaku
This series continues to impress – creepy, atmospheric, strong characterizations, and a story that you really don’t know where it will go. Although the focus on the first book was the pairing of Gabimaru and Sagiri, we are also given … Continue reading

Inverloch Volume 1 by Sarah Ellerton
The art here is clean but greatly let down by an overly-simplistic plot that never really develops into something interesting. The characters are one-dimensional, relationships feel forced, and it’s not like we haven’t seen this generic plot and world setting … Continue reading
