I still really enjoyed this bind-up and I can’t wait to see where the story goes next. And if this is your favorite art style of all time? You are valid.
I’m just stating what I would have liked more for this story! The artist is still very talented. But I don’t have an art degree, so don’t listen to me. And especially with something as cool as the world of ADSOM, I feel like an artist really could have turned this into one of the most aesthetically pleasing series of all time, especially with red, grey, black, and white having such a pivotal role in this world. Trust me, it kills me to say this, but I just never grew to like the style of this book. But this is not London, your highness.”īut my biggest problem with this graphic novel was honestly the art. And then with this elaborate magic system finally being visualized, it just felt clunky, and like it missed the mark completely on something that could have been groundbreaking. Yet, this first volume barely mentions the parallel Londons, which (to me) is the coolest part of this world, completely. And he has earned himself the title of The Steel Prince because of his magical affinity with steel.īut in this bind-up, Maxim gets involved with pirates, and magical tournaments, and figuring out who he wants to be. Maxim and his family are also people of color, with obvious dark brown skin, but it is never stated what ethnicity in this made up alternate historical London. Yet, he wants to be so much more than that, and he wants to prove that he will be capable and earn his rightful place as king one day. Maxim Maresh is only a prince in this brand-new graphic novel series, but he is the sole heir and the king in waiting in Red London.
But here I am, still surprised that I ended up giving the prequel graphic novel series start three stars. But when I found out we were going to get to learn more about Rhy’s father (adoptive father of Kell) and the events that lead him to being King, I knew I couldn’t resist. I am absolutely obsessed with Victoria’s mind and worlds, and her characters are truly some of the best I’ve read, but the plot and events always held me back from completely loving them. I read the entire A Darker Shade of Magic trilogy, and I ended up giving them all three stars. Goodreads | Amazon US | Barnes & Noble | Book Depository
