Demon in the Wood

I've never actually read a graphic novel before because they aren't really my kind of thing, but I loved this one. It takes us back into the early life of the Darkling. We see him as a young boy, struggling with his identity and wanting to find friends. We learn why he became the cunning and manipulative character we know from the books. The illustrations in this book are stunning and bring the story to life, capturing the characters and their world beautifully. They show the Darkling's vulnerability, especially his fear of the dark, which makes him a more authentic and interesting character. Baghra is another important character in this story. She is shown as a powerful and beautiful woman, leaving a strong impression. The complicated relationship between Baghra and the Darkling is explored, revealing the reasons behind his path towards becoming a villain. Hopefully, Leigh will write more of him and the others soon.
