My Thoughts:
Thank you so much to Harper360YA for providing me with and ARC! All thoughts/opinions are my own.
This was a really fun and relevant graphic novel. My arc edition wasn’t in full color but the drawings in themselves were stunning so I can only imagine how beautiful the finished product will be 🤩 I loved the emphasis on truth, especially when it comes to the media. The setting in this book is based off of Medieval Italy and it’s amazing how the messages and stories from that time period are still the same ones that are so important today. I did find that there were a few teeny plot-holes along the way and the fragile political state of the country might be confusing for younger readers to follow but overall I think that this book contains great messages which have been presented in such a visually stunning way so I would recommend it! Happy Reading 🙂
