Welcome to Litsy!

The Autumnal graphic novel series by Daniel Kraus follows protagonist Kat, as she returns to her quaint hometown of Comfort Notch, New Hampshire following the death of her estranged mother. As Kat and her daughter, Sybil, try to settle into a new life, Kat discovers that sometimes home is best forgotten. #YrTownInAutumn @autumnplease #scarathlon @eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks #horror #graphicnovels

Miro and Ian got married a couple months ago, and the main conflict in the book is them figuring out their new situation and—as usual—the work-life balance.

I‘m still surprised at how much I like this series. It‘s set in the contemporary world, and there‘s no plot in the usual sense, and Cannibal-Not-Hannibal has made an appearance again.

But.

There‘s one more book in this series, but afterwards, I‘ll be checking the author‘s other works.

4/5

Quite a creepy little graphic novel. ❤️

Nope. I only read a few pages and realized this is not a teen romance sci-fi graphic novel (which Hoopla said it was) but an x rated smut comic. Not what I like or want to read.

This was a really good read. A great story, interesting characters and good world development. A lost princess does not want to rule, is betrayed and risks her life to find her mother. Leads the untrusted rebellion leader to the hidden treasure of her family‘s great power. 4/5 stars, read if you liked Firefly

I wanted to like this way more than I actually did.

Pros: pretty good story, strong female protagonist, kind of has a slight (slight) Firefly vibe

Cons: underdeveloped characters, atrocious dialogue (everyone talks like they are from the late 90‘s despite being set in the future (in space!), and at one point a villain literally says “easy peasy lemon squeezy”), the art isn‘t my favorite

Overall: Meh. I didn‘t hate it, but no big love either

3.5 An interesting space opera. The Queen is on the run. Her planet and people taken over by revolutionaries. She wants her people to be free, but she also wants to live and free. But the two can not happen if others keep stabbing her in the back. Overall an interesting graphic novel. I liked the art work better than the story line.

I like the way the ongoing suspense plot was resolved & this ends with Miro & Ian in a good spot. Off to see if there is supposed to be a continuation or spin off with some of the secondary characters. 🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫 #romantsy

The past can really keep coming at you but it looks like loose ends were tied up in this one. Calmes finally stopped throwing in characters with no explanation, or maybe I got used to it. I don‘t know if more are planned but I‘d continue the series. If not, it ends just fine, you‘re really not left hanging. I also kind of see why a lot of people who read other authors I like, like her too.

Before reading this, I didn't realize I needed queer Viking epic fantasy in my life. This was unexpectedly sweet and touching, and Aydis is a badass. Looking forward to volume two.
