Comic Book Review | Lunar New Year Love Story
The Pros
🐉This reads like a young adult novel - so there is crossover appeal for readers to get into ya from comics.
🐉Art- smooth, visuals, use of color in background (my favorite designs were probably St. Valentine and the dragons in motion)
🐉Twists (that first one A++)
🐉Fantasy/mythology of world
🐉Messages that did not feel heavy handed- love, forgiveness, trauma, optimism and the transition to cynicism from kid to teen, and etc
🐉Family representation- there were many different families present in the story.
🐉Asian community
🐉Characters- their different personalities and histories.
🐉Actually let blowouts happen
Thoughts
This would be perfect to read for Valentines Day since it is about love and centers St. Valentine.
I did not expect this to physically big as it is (almost 400 pgs) that might have crossover appeal to readers not used to larger books
