"good" vs "evil" but the lines are blurred. Medieval plus futuristic, with magic! 
Text was a bit small to read. Ending felt a bit abrupt, although I did like the epilogue.

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!

This was such a great story! It had a fantastic plot premise and execution, and I loved the combination of medieval and futuristic elements it used for world building. It reminded me of the Astronights Island on Poptropica. The action sequence at the climax was simply incredible and completely engaging. I also loved the father-daughter relationship between Nimona and Ballister - Nimona herself made me laugh due to her bolshy personality. While it took some time for me to click with the art style, once I did I really enjoyed it. Finally, there was good character development for Ballister and Ambrosius, but I would have liked a slightly different ending to give Nimona more of an arc.
