This was a fun, fast paced read and I would recommend it. 

We’re following Nimona, a young shape shifter who wants to become the sidekick the the villain Lord Ballister Blackheart. Succeeding in this, they set out to uncover the dealings of the supposed goodies Sir Ambrosius Goldenloin and his crew at the Institution of Law Enforcement and Heroics. As small battles become bigger, Nimona’s power and past are revealed as well as getting some backstory with her and other characters to how the feud began. I liked the queer representation in this graphic novel, the messages portrayed and was an enjoyable read. The artwork is good, I think I prefer it little less harsh (think heartstopper) but was still pleasing to look at. The  medieval and futuristic elements were intriguing but also confusing at times. Love to check out more by the author!
