I don't even remember where I ran across a synopsis of this graphic novel, but I'm glad I did! It's written for a young adult audience, but for me, I connected with it even more because there's a special needs character in the story, and I've got a child with special needs. It's refreshing to see a story give a character with differences strength and hope. The aliens in the story deal with weaknesses being perceived as bad, unwanted things. However, the differences that the character has may just prove to be an asset to his survival.

Great mythological story

For anyone who enjoys mythology, thus is a great book. You get to know some of the gods and goddesses from Greek mythology. The only thing I found a little unbelievable was parts if the love story between Than and Therese, although it was lovely to read as a young girl fell in love with the Hod of death, I sometimes forgot that she was supposed to only be 15 as some of it was written as though she was an adult. I would give it 3.5 stars overall as it was a fun little read!

Yep, I seem to have an obsession with these now.

I enjoyed this one. This is my first non-Yaoi one, it just being a Young Adult romance-in-the-making between a girl and a boy she used to be close to before he disappeared from her life. He's now back, grown up, and with a new name. (I still don't quite understand how names and honorifics work but I'm sure the more I read, I'll work it out)

It's slow going but I like the artwork and the developing feelings between our characters. Off to start #2.
