I read Unearthed during another readathon ages ago, so I was excited to pick this one up! I gave it 5 stars, and I really loved it even more than book 1. I think the narrative was stronger, the character’s were more believable & logical, and the Sci-Fi themes were excellent. I highly recommend this duology to anyone looking for fast-paced, high action Science Fiction with some big universal questions hiding around every corner.

Wow this book was not what I expected! I gave it 4 stars, because the storytelling was a little predictable and dare I say, lazy. I almost felt like I was reading Scott Pilgrim again, there was even a recycled joke from that series in this book. I did love the nods to Russian Folk Lore with the “House Spirits”. That was totally unexpected and made for some really interesting twists and turns. The art is adorable and I love everything about that.

The awesome booth workers at BOOM! convinced me to pick this up at San Diego Comic-con a few years back, and I finally read it! I absolutely loved the story. All of the characters were relatable to me, I saw a piece of myself in all of their experiences and struggles. I think I have an easier time with contemporary stories in a graphic novel format, which isn’t something I have ever considered before. Looking forward to continuing this series! 5 stars.

A ridiculously fun look at the ongoings of the Egyptian pantheon. I have always loved Egyptian history, and I’ve never seen it explored quite like this. Though I wouldn’t show this to young children, it was really enjoyable for me, and I know it was fairly accurate to the source material as well. Highly recommend if you need a laugh!

Another 5 star read! I didn’t have a single book below a 4 all weekend actually. I loved all the different kinds of fantasy creatures that popped up in this story! Mythologies from many different countries are represented and I thought it was interesting to see how they related to each other. Jackaby himself is fascinating, and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who liked Sherlock. Looking forward to reading the other books.

I was so nervous about this book, but I absolutely loved it! 5 stars. Though there wasn’t as much necromancy as I initially anticipated, this book focused on grief and grieving in a big way. Watching Odessa deal with her loss in both healthy and extremely unhealthy ways was fascinating to me. The book also has really important things to say about the role of tradition and individual rights. I went out and bought book 2 immediately.
