This is a graphic novel with elements of fantasy, feminism, violence, and diversity.

The main character is a teenager named Maika searching for a past she doesn't remember. On her path she finds people, some are friends, some are enemies and she doesn't know who to trust. Maika is also struggling with a powerful and mysterious "thing" inside of her which threatens to take control.

The art is beautiful and very detailed, just look at the image below, it's one of my favorites in the book.



In the story, there are wise, talking cats, including one that is a Scholar, and honestly, imagine what cats would be like as characters! The cats were my favorite characters in the story.



There were a lot of things going on in the first book and I was confused at times. However, I still recommend the book to those who like fantasy novels.

FINAL NOTE: To date, my favorite graphic novels have been � Maus, Vol. 1 & 2, � The Complete Persepolis, and � My Friend Dahmer

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: the author's achievements are many and you can learn more about it here (Marjorie M. Liu), however, the one that impressed me the most is that she teaches comic book writing at MIT - how awesome is that?
