Anzu and the Realm of Darkness
Overall Rating: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ .5 (4.5/5) or 8.85/10 overall
Characters - 8
Anzu and Limbo were incredibly likeable and relatable characters. It was easy to root for them and enjoyable to see their interactions. Most of the side characters were fleshed out enough and had some personality to them. However, I do wish we had gotten to see a bit more of the real-world characters.
Atmosphere - 10
Coming into reading this book, I had no clue that it was a graphic novel, but the art did not disappoint. Each panel had a sense of life and movement that added so much more to the story than just the words could express. The backgrounds were beautifully detailed, while not becoming too busy or hard to follow.
Writing - 9
The writing in throughout the story was reasonable and interesting. It helped to explain key elements and elaborate on the characters' emotions well.
Plot - 9
This story was incredibly unique and entertaining. While the shift to Yomi did seem a bit abrupt, the rest of the plot had a good pace that pulled me in and made me keep reading til the end.
Intrigue - 9
The premise and cover of this book originally drew me in to want to read it. After realizing it was a graphic novel, I became that much more excited to start because the cover is so pleasing to look at. I was intrigued the whole way through and nothing felt too predictable.
Logic - 8
The book was reasonably logical. There were a few points that struck me as a bit odd, but I was able to look past them and have a good time reading this book anyway.
Enjoyment - 9
I was thoroughly entertained by this book. It was incredibly unique, with amazing art and dynamic characters. I would've given this book 5 stars were it not for a few minor points that dampened my enjoyment. :)
