Reviews
Isola is an engrossing, warm, inspiring work of high fantasy from acclaimed storytellers Brenden Fletcher and Karl Kerschl. Isola's thematic and aesthetic homages include films like Princess Mononoke and the game Shadow of Colossus but don't let these influences fool you, this an original work of art. And it just might be the best graphic novel I've read all year. The story-telling and world-building is thoughtful....there is just the right amount of intrigue, action, and heartbreak. And the art is amazing. The Queen of Maar, Olwyn, has had a transformation spell cast on her, a curse that her Captain of the Guard, Rook, is desperate to reverse. It is said that half a world away there is hope, in a place known as Isola, land of the dead... if they can get there alive, without anyone realizing who the cat is! The story is haunting, heartbreaking, and intense. It's filled with magic and court intrigue and drama. Do not miss ISOLA.
The art is fantastic! The story is hard to follow... I honestly had no clue what was going on. I’m not sure if I’ll continue with the series, I did like it but it didn’t especially grab me.
I'm excited to read the next installment
