My Review: Complimentary Review Copy Provided by Publisher Through NetGalley. I don't often bother with graphic novels in electronic form as it means having to sit in front of my laptop to read them but I couldn't resist this one. I have loved the character Mercy Thompson since her first book. I like the mixture of paranormal creatures that inhabit her world and the way Patricia Briggs makes it all seem so realistic and ordinary to live with werewolves, vampires, and fae in the same town. So, you are asking, what about the graphic novel? My answer is go and buy it if you like stunning artwork that is detailed and interesting and married to yet another great story from Patricia. What appealed to me most is the way the artists managed to make the character look just as I imagined them from the descriptions in the books.
p.s. Unfortunately for you all, unless you are into pre-ordering, you will have to wait until 30th June to buy it.
I didn't know there was a graphic novel for Mercy! I loved the series and I love reading graphic novels. Perhaps I'll pick this up!!
