I’ve never really been a fan of graphic novels, but something about Saga made me fall in love with it. I agree that “If you don’t like to read, you haven’t found the right book yet.” becauseit was the exact same thing that happened to me with this particular genre.
Having said that Saga was the ‘right’graphic novel for me, it wasn’t my first graphic novel read, I’ve read Archie before and liked it, too, but not in the exact way that other people do. With Saga, it gave graphic novels a whole new meaning, for me at least.
“All of them tried to hurt me, but only one managed to break my heart.”
I really loved the main characters in this particular graphic novel, Alana and Marko. As you may have already known, I have always been a sucker for the kind of love wherein the whole universe conspires to tear them apart but they still end up together just because they love each other so much that they’d go through hell just to be together. In Saga, that’s the kind of love story they have. It’s kind of a forbidden-ish type of love story.
They are both soldiers from different galaxies and the two galaxies where they has always, always been enemies. It’s a never-ending galactic war but Alana and Marko both hoped for a new life, a life without war, a life where their family can be at peace.
I just love how strong Alana is. The strong woman power totally blown me away. I mean, how she fought so hard to save her family has just been so… Awesome. I just can’t explain more without spoiling you guys, so you better just read it!
“No matter how hard they try, no matter how good their intentions, everything will go wrong.”
I loved how it has this crazy humor in it but also dark at the same time. I’ve heard a lot of people from booktube who’ve read this graphic novel and loved it. Well, I actually haven’t stumbled upon one who says that they hate it. Only, I recommend this to adult readers or young adults because there are a whole lot of adult content in this book.
I don’t know how many times I’ve said this in this post already, but I loved it. Totally. It’s just so awesome.
“Violence is stupid. Even as a last resort, it only even begets more of the same.”
