No talking monkeys.

2.0

Two teens work together to save a magic land and a theme park. This graphic novel was rather too predictable for me and the characters felt flat. The pacing was way too fast, and in some scenes it seemed like panels were missing. Transitions happened abruptly and I didn't buy the main characters' suddenly strong bond. The monkey started to explain his backstory but it was never actually told, which was odd. All in all a bit of a let down.

If you are looking for a better graphic novel/comic about saving a declining theme park and its connected magical land, I would recommend [b:Welcome to Wanderland|43909493|Welcome to Wanderland|Jackie Ball|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1549839690l/43909493._SY75_.jpg|68327852].

 “We all make mistakes. What matters if what you do afterward."

Epic! really knows how to make engaging stories just by using simple elements. So far I’ve liked all of their series, and this one is no different. The Foxe also made a likeable Twitch streamer. There’s a true sense of tension, and I kept turning pages excited to see the end. I enjoyed both Karoline and Clark and their adventure. The ending is rather quick because a huge point gets resolved offscreen. Still,  Adventure Kingdom is definitely worth reading!
