"You can't just go around murdering people. There are rules, Nimona!"



Nimona was such a fluffy yet meaningful read. It proves as a light escape from reality and into the world of dragons, heroic laws, good villains, broken doors and mostly SHARKS!!! I loved the art-style and the use of so many literary devices within the words and graphics that allowed the story to fly off the pages and straight into my heart.

The Story
This was nowhere near what I expected it to be. I was so happily shocked with where the story went that I recommend everyone go in blind with this one. Nimona was originally a web-comic series, and the author/artist even put the development of the character and the art at the latter pages of the novel. It showed me how hard it is to put an effective graphic novel together.

And it was, effective, that is. Because Nimona is a different story for everyone, it acts as a shapeshifting device itself. Because the story can shape shift its meaning for different people. That's the great thing about comics or graphic novels. You aren't just working on words. You are working with elements of art too.




Blackheart
This cinnamon roll needed a section to himself, because I have never seen a villain so pure and so hero-like.
The development of Ballister is one that you see right at the end. It's worth it. So so so worth it.
He's a very multi-dimensional character in the sense, even though he tends to say the least - the message screams out the most.

Can we also take a moment...

No comment.


I loved every swirly wirly red minute of this novel and this review is now a shark.
