A review by undertowsoul
Box of Bones #1 by John Jennings, Ayize Jama-Everett

2.0

Sadly, I really don't think this is a series that I'll continue, although I may try one more chapter before deciding for sure. The premise of it sounded really interesting to me. As a white person, raised in Christianity, I'm always interested in discovering more about other cultures and religions. This one doesn't really go into any like I thought it might. It shows a very superficial view to the story while at the same time being more descriptive with violence, which I'm just not personally interested in. I don't mind violence but when it replaces story, I don't enjoy it. It was still interesting. The art syle is very unique and almost cartoonish but I enjoyed it. The art somewhat diminished the shock of the violence though this is still definitely an adult graphic novel. There's definitely language, quite a bit of violence, and even a sexual depiction. If you're not sure you want to check it out, I'd have to recommend you pass on this one.

I would like to thank the publisher, author, and Netgalley for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.
