I could see what this story was attempting to do, but I really struggled to believe the characters and their motivations. It felt a lot like the plot depended on people not telling others what was going on, and when the lives of multiple people depend on the teenagers not doing something reckless, eh. So, yeah, I spent a lot of time going 'these people make no sense'.

I did like the artwork - I often struggle with graphic stories because poor contrast or overly dark palettes -- and I think that there was a reasonable balance between the story told in text and image.… (altro)

This was kind of a let down, honestly. While there are a couple interesting characters and the art is pretty nice, the story as a whole lacks backbone. So much is hinted at or teased, but the authors fail to deliver any real substance to feed the reader. At one point, a character grumbles, "No straight answers", and that exactly how I felt about this book. "The Black Bull of Norroway" promises a lot, but in reality there is just a lot of half-hearted exposition and partially formed tales of mythical dead people.… (altro)

* I got this book for review from the publisher*
I think this graphic novel would make prefect fall read. This author normally writes YA contempories with a LGBTQ elements and this book was no difference. This book was a eeiry and spooky read cilled with magic and witchcraft. This book gave me really big fall vibes. I also loved the main character dealing with a long distance romanc and the magical mysyery that pushed the story forward. I think that the final book would also have stunning art and would love to see more books set in this world. It was a fun early fall read!!… (altro)
