Going with 4 STARS on this first volume of Monstress!

The illustrations in Monstress were wonderful and beautiful! The layout of the story was very confusing for me and I struggled in the beginning to understand the plot and circumstances that were going on with Maika Halfwolf.
By the end of this first addition, it made more sense. I still felt this could have been better with a different layout in the beginning in regards to the story and world building.

Maika Halfwolf is a teenage girl that shares a link with a monster. She's trying to survive the war between the Federation, the Arcanics and Cumaea. Because of her unknown powers, it seems everyone is after her. I'm looking forward to Maika's journey in discovering who she is along with understanding more of this world.

Check out some of the graphic art in this:




I loved the cats in the story!


If you enjoy fantasy and graphic novels, I really think you'll enjoy this series. It's been around for awhile but I'm glad to finally plunge myself in this alternative steampunk world of Asia!
