Book Review: Lumberjanes # 1 Noelle Stevenson

Lumberjanes: Up All Night (Lumberjanes, #1)Lumberjanes: Up All Night by Noelle Stevenson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

March 27-27

WHY WE LOVE IT: Five best friends spending the summer at Lumberjane scout camp…defeating yetis, three-eyed wolves, and giant falcons…what’s not to love?!

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT: It’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Gravity Falls and features five butt-kicking, rad teenage girls wailing on monsters and solving a mystery with the whole world at stake. And with the talent of acclaimed cartoonist Noelle Stevenson, talented newcomer Grace Ellis writing, and Brooke Allen on art, this is going to be a spectacular series that you won’t want to miss.

WHAT IT’S ABOUT: Jo, April, Mal, Molly and Ripley are five best pals determined to have an awesome summer together…and they’re not gonna let any insane quest or an array of supernatural critters get in their way! Not only is it the second title launching in our new BOOM! Box imprint but LUMBERJANES is one of those punk rock, love-everything-about-it stories that appeals to fans of basically all excellent things.

Review – I loved the art the story is pretty cute and it’s funny it’s like girlscouts with supernatural stuff .

Book Review: Hera the Goddess and her glory George O’Connor

Hera: The Goddess and Her Glory (Olympians, #3)

Hera: The Goddess and Her Glory by George O’Connor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hera: The Goddess and her Glory by George O’ConnorMy rating: 4 of 5 starsThe story of Hera, Queen of the Gods, and the heroes who won her favor.Volume 3 of Olympians, Hera: The Goddess and Her Glory, introduces readers to the Queen of the Gods and Goddesses in the Pantheon. This volume tells the tales of the many heroes who sought and won Hera’s patronage, most notably Hercules.In Olympians, O’Connor draws from primary documents to reconstruct and retell classic Greek myths. But these stories aren’t sedate, scholarly works. They’re action-packed, fast-paced, high-drama adventures with monsters, romance, and not a few huge explosions. O’Connor’s vibrant, kinetic art brings ancient tales to undeniable life, in a perfect fusion of super-hero aesthetics and ancient Greek mythology. March 15-16

Review- This one was a really good one Hera isn’t my favorite goddess she is a little crazy but I did like the story of Hercules it was an interesting story I’m going to pick up the next two at the library .

Book Review: zeus king of the gods George O’Connor

Zeus: King of the Gods (Olympians, #1)

Zeus: King of the Gods by George O’Connor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book review Zeus by george o’connor March 14-15Summary- George O’Connor is a Greek mythology buff and a classic superhero comics fan, and he’s out to remind us how much our pantheon of superheroes (Superman, Batman, the X-Men, etc) owes to mankind’s ORIGINAL superheroes: the Greek pantheon. In OLYMPIANS, O’Connor draws from primary documents to reconstruct and retell classic Greek myths. But these stories aren’t sedate, scholarly works. They’re action-packed, fast-paced, high-drama adventures, with monsters, romance, and not a few huge explosions. O’Connor’s vibrant, kinetic art brings ancient tales to undeniable life, in a perfect fusion of super-hero aesthetics and ancient Greek mythology.Volume 1 of OLYMPIANS, ZEUS: King OF THE GODS, introduces readers to the ruler of the Olympian Pantheon, telling his story from his boyhood to his ascendance to supreme power.

Review-I loved this graphic novel I loved the story of Zeus in graphic form the art was amazing I would check out this. I loved seeing story of Zeus and kronos it was fun reading this I love reading about Greek gods . I was hooked reading this

3. Go to sleep
4. Wake anew

Book Review: this summer Mariko tamaki

This One SummerThis One Summer by Mariko Tamaki
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

August 26-26

Summary -Every summer, Rose goes with her mom and dad to a lake house in Awago Beach. It’s their getaway, their refuge. Rosie’s friend Windy is always there, too, like the little sister she never had. But this summer is different. Rose’s mom and dad won’t stop fighting, and when Rose and Windy seek a distraction from the drama, they find themselves with a whole new set of problems. It’s a summer of secrets and sorrow and growing up, and it’s a good thing Rose and Windy have each other.

In This One Summer two stellar creators redefine the teen graphic novel. Cousins Mariko and Jillian Tamaki, the team behind Skim, have collaborated on this gorgeous, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful story about a girl on the cusp of her teen age—a story of renewal and revelation.

Review this graphic novel was really good the story could of used something sometimes it would get boring or it wouldn’t really make sence but i did like it rose and her family always go to there beach house every summer and rose always hangs out with windy they rent horror movies go to the beach rose’s parents are fighting they wanted another kid but her mom miscarried and never told Rose . there is this guy that works at the store name dunce and he knocked this girl up but she maybe cheating on him oh and she was drinking and almost drowned and rose mom helped her I like this graphic novel .

Shadow Kiss: The Graphic Novel (Vampire Academy: The Graphic Novel, #3)Shadow Kiss: The Graphic Novel by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Summary – What if following her heart means Rose could lose her best friend forever?

Rose Hathaway knows it is forbidden to love another guardian. Her best friend, Lissa – the last Dragomir princess – must always come first. Unfortunately, when it comes to gorgeous Dimitri Belikov, some rules are meant to be broken…

But since making her first Strigoi kills, Rose hasn’t been feeling right. Something dark has begun to grow in her mind, and ghostly shadows warn of a terrible evil drawing nearer to the Academy’s iron gates. And now that Lissa and Rose’s sworn enemy, Victor Dashkov, is on trial for his freedom, tensions in the Moroi world are higher than ever.

Lying to Lissa about Dimitri is one thing, but suddenly there’s way more than friendship at stake. The immortal undead are on the prowl, and they want vengeance for the lives that Rose has stolen. In a heart-stopping battle to rival her worst nightmares, Rose will have to choose between life, love, and the two people who matter most… but will her choice mean that only one can survive?

Review – the graphic novel of shadow kiss was my favorite cause it’s my favorite of the series it was still sad in the part and I love seeing the cabin scene it was a great graphic novel I loved it .

Book Review: Grimm fairy tales vol 1 Ralph Tedeaco

Grimm Fairy Tales Vol. 1Grimm Fairy Tales Vol. 1 by Ralph Tedesco
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The Grimm fairy tale graphic novel was very interesting story wise but the art was very mature .red riding hood and you the know story but they all have a twist they all start with the main character and they end up finding this story book but red riding hood brining something to grandma she see’s this guy who she was apparently doing something that only married people do and then she see’s this other guy Chopping down a tree and he gives her this knife and ends seeing a wolf and she fallows the wolf back to her house she though is was the guy who gave her the knife but it was the other guy and she stabbed the other guy. The Cinderella story maybe my favorite it starts with this girl named Cindy and she is made fun by these girls she goes to this fairy tale lecture and then the story begins Cinderella has horrible step sisters and step mother and there is a ball and the step mother throws Cinderella into this cellar where Cinderella is surrounded by ghosts and she just wants it to stop so she sells her soul to a fairy godmother she wants to step mother and step sisters to pay for what they’ve done she goes to the ball and then she comes back the fair godmother tells her the prince is coming And what about the step sisters and mother well they are attacked and the prince and Cinderella live happy ever after. Hansel and gretel was an interesting story of a girl who runs away from her strict parents with her brother and they hitch a ride and they hear a very different story about hansel and gretel they run away and find this house and then Hasel is caged up and gretel has to do house work and as she tries to get the key she turns to this monster and well hansel ends up eaten the girl learns from they and goes home . Rumplstilsken is about a girl being pregnant and her boyfriend wants to get rid of it and she doesn’t know what to do a lady comes up to her to tell her a story when a girls father tells a king that his daughter can spin gold the girl doesn’t know what to do cause she can’t and he said he would have her killed a dwarf hears her cries and helps her but she has to give him her first born child she agrees the king ends up marring her and she has the baby boy rumplestilskin comes back and she doesn’t want to give it up so he tells her if she can guess his name she can keep her baby’s he searches high and low and finds it but on the boy’s thirteenth birthday he comes back looking different and curses the son so the girl learns children are important . Sleeping beauty this guy is told from this girl he likes to get some drugs from this guy this woman drops a story book and Brett reads it sleeping beauty is told about the curse and this servant likes her she is in a deep sleep but to be awaken the boy must truly love her or he will die so the servant goes to her and she wakes they are to be married but the princess is not into it and is with another guy and then this guy ends up dieing and the princess never is awoken again and Brett learns from that . The robber bridegroom two sisters fighting over a guy in the story is also about sisters but one sister is to get married and the other sister pushes her off the ledge and she ends up marring the prince and ends up being a meal . Legacy this one was my second favorite the story of the story book the girl finds it in this house when she is with her bother the book has power and it changes her town and finds this old guy who ends up being her brother wow .
All these stories were so cool but they were a little mature with the artwork alone all the girls breasts looked like balloons I don’t think I will be continuing with the rest of the novels
