medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I am being so real when I say this but I don’t understand what the end goal of this graphic novel was , literally confused from beginning to end. Also I’m not sure I’m fully comfortable with the idea of a white man from Michigan being the one illustrating and writing about stories from the Qu’ran , when I first started reading it I honestly didn’t know who the author is until I saw that I had read another graphic novel by him and I also disliked that novel as well. The complete nudity that only the women in this book were subjected to also didn’t sit right with me as well because a lot of it was honestly so unnecessary and added absolutely nothing to the storyline. Tbh the only thing I like about this was the art work , everything else was subpar and it’s quite obvious that this author isn’t for me , I don’t recommend what so ever.
