A review by carahamelie
Monstress, Vol. 1: Awakening by Marjorie Liu

3.0

This was good but REALLY confusing. The amount of world building and information they tried to squeeze into this graphic novel was a little overkill. They tried to do too much in a short amount of time, and it was really hard to follow. It almost felt like I started with volume II and everything was already explained, and I was trying to catch up. With that said though... I will continue, it's just a story you have to read at a slower pace to keep everything straight. I'm sure as I read future volumes, things will come together more. This has won MANY awards, so I have to assume it starts to make more sense.
