Lumberjanes Vol. 5: Band Together | Grace Ellis, Noelle Stevenson, Shannon Watters

GN Challenge: 9/366

Lumberjanes vol 5 was a decent addition to the collection but definitely not the strongest which is sad because this is the last volume that founder Noelle Stevenson worked on. Overall, it was enjoyable and I'm looking forward to the future volumes.

Well volume 4 was a complete 180 from volume 3. The story was cohesive and for the first time in the series I finally felt like I knew what was going on. Yay! Hopefully the next volume can keep up this pace.

Well that was terrible. Nothing was redeeming about this book. At all. The story made no sense and the artwork changed every issue. Would not recommend.

RainyDayReading The next volume is so much better! Like it‘s almost a complete turnaround from this one. 5y

The story itself was ok. There‘s still a lot of questions to be answered and the ending tried to be a cliffhanger, which it it was, but also felt like “WTF just happened”. The artwork is still beautiful though. Overall, I think to truly understand this book, there should be some knowledge on greek gods going in.

This was a reread and just as enjoyable as the first time. The artwork is absolutely gorgeous too 😍

THIS MANGA WAS SO GOOD. I wasn‘t going to read it at first but so happy I did. It‘s a transformation story of a girl who is considered a social outcast to a princess. But within the transformation, mix in romance, cross-dressing and some awkward encounters and you‘ve got this book.

This volume had exactly what volume 3 was missing. It had the strong friendships and exciting adventure for our campers readers have come to expect. So much fun!

Overall this was an interesting start to the series. I had lots of questions with some of them answered and others are hopefully going to be answered in subsequent volumes. Motor crush is sci-fi with a female protagonist who is lgbt and poc.

Compared to the other two volumes, Lumberjanes vol. 3 was just an ok read with nothing to write home about. A similar sense of friendship was there as seen in the first two volumes but the adventure part was kind of lack-lustre.

LibrarianRyan So I am curious about your GN challenge. I‘m doing two currently. 5y
samantha.mlis @LibrarianRyan I'm simply trying to read a graphic novel a day. I'll mostly be reading collected volumes as that's what's readily available to me from my library and cheaper to purchase online vs. single issues. Manga will be included in this as well. What are your GN challenges? 5y
LibrarianRyan @samantha.mlis I‘m doing the @GondorGirl 2 a month challenge and because I am so behind on my galleys working on 1 a day through August. Plus all my other standard challenges. 5y
LibrarianRyan I‘m reading mostly galley but I have some book club selections and I am going to reread some old favorites after sitting through a session on diversity in comics after a recently local comic expo. 5y
samantha.mlis @LibrarianRyan That's cool, good luck with all of that. 5y
