A review by armaget
Iron: Or, the War After by S.M. Vidaurri
5.0
This was so good. Usually I don't like spy books cause I can barely remember which character is who but graphic novels pretty much solve that. Graphic novels are pretty much good for everything, guys. We should all read more graphic novels.
This book probably reminds a lot of people of Maus, with the war themes and furrys. I honestly liked Iron alot better tho ngl.
Iron is the definition of a quick graphic novel, because:
a. It is hella addictive
b. It's kinda short and
c. You want to know what's gonna happen to Hardin's stupid kids. (Well, stupid kid, singular, we'll get into that)
James Hardin Jr kinda sucked. And I loved that. I feel like most protagonists you have to like, so it felt good to have a little change(?) Patricia, however, was the best. Patricia deserves everything.
The characters in this book are beautiful. Thanks again to it's graphic novel format, I was able to easily remember which character was who, even if I couldn't remember the names. Each character added something and each character gave me different strong emotions...
Frog guy: Rushed, annoyed, probably is depressed
Tiger boi: Way too angry.
Crow bastard: You idiot you fool look what you've done we all kind of hate you and feel bad for you
Patricia the bunny: You're smart and strong but too little
James jr the bunny: Your stupid and I kind of dislike you but slap me silly if your character development wasn't just one of the best and most terrible things in the book
Konstantin the Wolf:And that scene with Charlotte at the end like BOI can you give us a warning before you break our hearts again
Charlotte: She didn't do much that I can tell but had enormous influence
Owl maid at the beginning: u freaky
James Hardin: Unlucky.
This story was so good. Even if we get no explanation of what the war was about, what they're actually fighting for... I like it better that way, it would have been too complicated. Overall it's the story of the Hardin siblings. The war is the backdrop and the unfortunate scenario.
Ok art review time: Stunning. I love the use of furries, again. With humans it just would not have been as interesting. I love the color scheme too, and the winter vibes were n o i c e'mate. There was something really creepy about it and it worked so well. It was mysterious but intimate too.
This book was a unit.
Happy ending rating: 4/10
