Book Review: Sleepless by Sarah Vaughn, Leila Del Luca, Alissa Sallah, Deron Bennett; vol. 1-2
plot: so good!!! not overly complicated, which was good for such a short story, but I was still so invested. such a short period of time for me to adore and be so invested in the romance and the mystery of the story.
characters: POPPY MY BELOVED!!! i love her so much, i need more of her, she is such an active protagonist, so open about what she wants, so smart, so forgiving, I need so much more of her. and cyrenic!!! a sweetheart, i love his devotion, I love seeing him deal with his freedom and uncertain future… all the other characters were interesting and beautifully designed and drawn.
pacing: very fast paced, such a gripping story!! and yet we still had time for emotional scenes!!!
relationships: poppy and cyrenic are an otp now, love a lady and her bodyguard trope, absolutely beautifully executed. the CHEMISTRY!! and i enjoyed the friendship that developed between poppy and rellen was quite interesting and sweet.
worldbuilding: i could read so so so many stories set in this world, i want to explore it more!!
writing art style: im super picky about art style in graphic novels and impacts how many i read, but i loved this one as soon as i saw the cover and lovely color palette as well
themes: i didn’t process the themes much but im excited to reread and examine them!!
