The Opal Deception: The Graphic Novel by Eoin Colfer, Andrew Donkin, Paolo Lamanna, Giovanni Rigano

clh17's review against another edition

4.0

The adaptation itself is pretty great. But the colors seem really dark and muted in this one versus the previous graphic novels in the series. Almost hard to see everything you want to see.

I have come to love the series in novel's form and how I cannot be more in love to see all the characters coming alive in illustration in graphic novel

Great art by Giovanni Rigano and colour by Paolo Lamanna. Everything that I read before in words had sharpened the imagination with the illustration. So, thank you so much

3.0

The illustrations tend towards lots of blues, greens, and oranges but are clear and it is easy to differentiate the various characters. There is enough backstory for a reader to understand the action without having read the earlier books in the series. Those who have read the text version will likely find this a bit too brief for their liking. However, it may tempt some into reading the text version if they haven't.

Artemis has decided to steal a painting, he can't remember any of his past dealings with faerie, but strangely enough, this paining has faeries. Meanwhile Holly is dealing with promotion, the only way she knows how and almsot pining for the days when Artemis made her life interesting.

And then Opal Koboi breaks free with a cunning plan to destroy faerie lands and to gain a lot of power, Artemis will have to be reminded, and faerie is never going to be the same.

I found it interesting but it did lag a bit in places, Artemis is becomming more of a rounded person in this story and there's a bit of introspection going on which is all good. I'm looking forward to the next installment.
