Really enjoyable read, got through it really quickly. My only complaint is I was surprised when it ended- I’d been hoping for more!

My only note is that Stevenson should not have included skin-walkers, since Native folks have been pretty adamant that they don't want non-Natives using that lore.

Otherwise, I really enjoyed it!

My reading comprehension isn't good enough to understand that ending. Everything before it was a wild ride though.

i have been a huge fan of ND for years and was happy to finally sit down and read the infamous NIMONA. this story was extremely unique and i couldn’t help but to love Nimona and Blackheart the most. it felt like some parts had been cut (from the original web comic) for space, but otherwise the pacing was on point and plot was very entertaining. i feel like if there had been more world-building up front (because the setting really is unexpected and unique) or if i had read this when it was a web comic, it would be a 5/5. but for now, it gets a 4!
