I found this book very powerful and moving. It is a journey of a woman broken from traumatic events in her childhood and how the mysterious, enigmatic Lemon leads her on a journey towards healing and wholeness. This book is stark in its descriptions and joltingly shocking even though the plot holds a fatalistic inevitability.

At the beginning of the book Jinx is a hollow, cold, deeply scarred woman who lives a very isolated life unable to even form a relationship with her young son. She is unable to believe in and receive love from anyone after the emotional betrayal of her mother led to complete devastation in her teens.

Yet, then Lemon walks back into her life and, whilst at his own admission he is no saint, he leads he on a path to exorcise her guilt and discover redemption. Lemon is a fascinating character who has almost angelic qualities at times and his relationship with Jinx is full of mystery and is at times their scenes together are almost like a fable. And yet throughout the mystery the vivid descriptions and very raw, tangible emotions experienced by the two protagonists ground the story firmly within the realms of human experience, taking the reader on a moving journey of empathy and affinity.

I'm so glad that the entire run of Sif's Journey into Mystery was compiled into one graphic novel. Thor is gone for some of the issues, so she deals with problems that normally Thor would take care of. Sif becomes a berserker to become a better warrior, but the catch is the rage associated with it.
Overall, a good and quick read.

Great read. Or listen.
Taraji unapologetically is herself. Being so, you find yourself falling in love with her, her passion and her perspectives. Good read.
