Thief of the Heights by Robin Yao, Son M

4.0

This SFF Graphic Novel had strong characters, beautiful art, and a strong base for a plot, but the novel was too short for the plot to be developed to its full potential. 

The character designs were incredible! I’d love to see all of these characters more in the future. And you could tell so much effort went into designing the world, the shots that were “zoomed out” were so beautiful. The found family was so fun <3

The plot wasn’t the best tho. But a disclaimer- some pages in the arc were out of order, so it was difficult to follow at times. I really liked the base of the plot, but I don’t think the book was long enough for it to fully develop. 

I think revolution is always relevant, more so even today, but that makes me wish that there would have been some sort of epilogue. The ending just felt very abrupt. 

Thank you to NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
