I would give the first half like a 4.5/5
(kinda got bored towards the last half oops so i give that a 3/5) but it made me proud to be a scientist

I saw this popping out at me when I visited my library and damn was I in for a ride. This story surrounds women in science. And women in the world. It’s- there’s really no other words I can say than- wow. You just gotta read it.

The curie was one of the first Sci-fi graphic novels I've read and I am so glad it's more than just a "girl boss women in stem" book. The plot is very much interesting and though based on a million things it keeps you interested, the characters are very well developed and the group of women in this comic was really refreshing.

*I received this as an ebook through the publisher on netgalley in exchange for an honest review*
I really enjoyed The Curie Society! Some of the science talk went over my head, but overall it was fun to read as Simone, Taj, and Maya learned about the society and what roles they could play in its history!

4.75 Stars!!
This graphic novel was so fun!
So obviously I am not the target audience being 19 years old instead of a teen or younger. However I absolutely adored this comic.
It was fun, exciting , mysterious , and cute.
Think women James Bond characters being at university.
We are following Taj, Simone , and Maya, three prodigies who have been accepted into Edmunds university.
Taj, being a tech prodigy who is the typical brooding dark character that is badass and can fight.
Simone, the youngest of three, who is a biology prodigy, she feels out of place and awkward.
And Maya, the math/engineering prodigy, she has an overbearing parent that makes her being bossy and unkind to her friends.
Together the three of them have to work together as a group in hopes to be accepted into The curie society, a secret society for women in STEM.
That is the overall premise of the story,
So what did I like about this novel?
1. The characters. Each character has a unique personality that works really well. I mean was written really well.
2. The premise/idea. The idea of a women only society for women working in stem.
3. The mystery of where the previous generations of curies went, and where the stolen data went/ who stole it.
4. The lgbt+ , disability rep.
5. There were technical terms (obviously because the major theme of STEM) but they were easy enough to understand that I think kids would understand.
What did I not like?
- the overbearing parent trope. Maya has an overbearing parent that is pushy. Because of this she is bossy and mean to her other team mates .
I think this graphic novel is perfect for teens (and younger even) interested in STEM majors. Especially girls who have been told they aren’t smart enough or face discrimination because they are female interested in STEM.
I hope that this isn’t the only volume because I definitely need a second one!!!
Highly highly recommend.
