Like a lot of graphic novels it suffers from too much graphic, not enough novel. Though the main character, Amelia, is ripe for a few in a series if the author/illustrators so choose, maybe just tone down or spread out the action sequences.Ī disappointing book, not because it's bad but because it had so much potential. It's a fantastical, sci-fi adventure, just not the most well-done of them. And at times I think the dialogue doesn't mesh well with what action is happening on the page either. The artwork is stunning but too, too much. There is *so much* going on visually on every page of this adventure and with Amelia's emotions that it's drowned out by everything else going on on the page. Unfortunately the thing that could have elevated the book is its downfall.
There's quite a bit of adventure- as she ends up stranded in another location and befriends a few brothers and their mom and integrates into their world while trying to get back to hers. This is a graphic novel mashup between some steampunk science fiction elements and some fantasy elements and a girl, Amelia Erroway who had a traumatic experience with the disappearance/death of her mother and a father who doesn't like to talk about it especially when he'd rather send the shipmates searching for Amelia who is always running off and getting in to trouble rather than addressing the elephant in the room.
