Graphic Novel Review: Evie’s Wicked Runway #1 – Natsuki Minami

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest and unbiased review of the book.

“As a talented designer, Evie can’t wait to enter Auradon’s national design competition, traveling and challenging other young hopefuls from all across the land. Even more exciting: the grand prize is a generous grant to use for any charity they see fit, and Evie plans to use it to open a video workshop to teach the kids back on the Isle of the Lost. But as one setback after another gets in her way, it looks like someone might not want Evie to win at all… This is Book 1 of the Trilogy!”

This was a quick easy graphic novel that I got from NetGalley, which was easy to read and follow along with, which is exactly why I requested this one and why I wanted to read it. I wanted something light and child like, that wasn’t going to draining and suck at my emotions and feeling. This just took me away from some of my more emotional reads of late, which was perfect. It is a children’s graphic novel, so you can expect to find the bold and overly bright colours, as oppose to the adult graphic novels I’ve read lately, such as The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina.

The storyline was okay. It did what I wanted it to, but again I wasn’t it’s intended audience. It didn’t really explain the characters, but that could be because it’s a graphic novel and the only other one I’ve read are the Sabrina series. I think children, even young teenagers would enjoy this, but on saying that, this graphic novel did leave of on a bit of a cliffhanger, which I now want to know how it continues. So maybe age isn’t an issue, it just depends on your mood, the writing and the story content.

I do enjoy reading children’s book to break up big reads, or continual emotional or troublesome reads, and I don’t know if I’m the only one. Let me know. But I find it helps. I usually fly through, I get that sense of accomplishment and it’s usually a fun and exciting read.

Hello! My name is Shayney Hardcastle. I am a massive book enthusiast so I created this blog as my own little place where I can write and express my thoughts and review each book I have read. I am 23 and am currently living in a small town in Wales, in the United Kingdom, and love how reading let's me explore the world outside of this small town. I have also recently been sent more and more books and ARC by authors to review and wanted a place to review them that wasn't just on Goodreads and Amazon.
