Kurz-Meinung:
Also erst einmal möchte ich sagen, dass ich enttäuscht bin, dass man das Buch (Moon Called) in zwei Graphic Novels gesplittet hat. Das ist so unnötig und aus meiner Sicht nur Geldmacherei.
In diesem Heft sind also Teil 1 von Moon Called und eine kleine Zusatzstory über Mac. Letzteres ist aber vom Zeichenstil völlig anderes und gar nicht mein Fall. Auch inhaltlich hat es mich nicht gerade umgehauen.
Die Hauptstory dagegen wurde inhaltlich gut umgesetzt. Die Zeichnungen waren teilweise etwas merkwürdig – zu starke Umrisse; merkwürdige Mimik – dann aber wieder so genial, dass es mich umgehauen hat. Vor allem die Tierzeichnungen. Irgendwie wirkte es als hätten mehrere Künstler daran gearbeitet. Grundsätzlich ist der Zeichenstil ganz mein Ding. Die warme Farbwahl gefiel mir ebenfalls.
Empfehlen würde ich die Graphic Novel aber eher als Zusatz zum Buch, denn die Story und Emotionalität des Ganzen kommt im Buch viel besser rüber als in der Graphic Novel.
Meine Wertung:
4,4 von 5 Sternen

It was pretty good since I’m familiar with the main character, but there were a few places in the story where it went too fast or it wasn’t explaining what was happening very well.

When I first stated Moon Called, I was like Oh my gosh this is going to be a bad one. But I kept reading, and as the story progressed I began to like the story. Once I got to the end of the this book I was wow the story was actually good. But there is a lot world building. This was the reason that I did not care for this book at first. Overall, I enjoyed this Moon Called very much. I found Mercy's character to be funny. The plot was simple. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

A condensed version of the first half of the story. I liked seeing the story!

Better than the cover.
The story is better than the cover. There is a lot of initial character and world building which is standard in the start of a series. All together 3 stars. I will read the second installment.

Decent enough adaptation. Not sure I buy most of the choices made on the character art. Mercy as a coyote is done pretty well. And I like Jesse pretty well, and Mercy herself is not bad. Actually Mac is done well as is Zee. What I don't appreciate are the werewolves, especially the good guys as humans. They mostly don't capture the gravitas and yes I know they are supposed to look young. Anyway, not a bad book, though it doesn't really add much - it's nice to see this in graphic form. 3.5 of 5.

I enjoyed falling into the world of Mercy - a shapeshifter without a pack, an outsider with a big heart, and a no-bull mechanic with wit.

Great read!
This is the first I’ve read from Patricia Briggs. I really enjoyed it. Mercy is strong and kind which I like. A lot of strong female leads seem to be cranky and overly rude. I’m not sure why but that seems to be the theme. Mercy isn’t like that. I also enjoyed the will-they-won’t-they with the male characters and Mercy. Overall, great read!

I read these graphic novels and they were interesting adaptions but ultimately I knew the story and I didn’t really care for the art. I liked the Hopcross Jilly ones better.
