I'm normally not a graphic novel person - I prefer print books mostly - but I loved this book! It's a short read, an hour if you're a fast reader, no more than three if you're a slower reader and prefer to take everything in, but every minute is incredible. The characters are so fun, especially Nimona. Although if you just read the back, it seems like sort of a dumb plot, after about 10 pages, you get hooked! What I first thought was a book that I was going to hate and would be filled with dumb attempts at humor turned out to be an amazing book! The characters are all so compelling, and the fact that it's from the perspective of the villain is a refreshing change from the normal boundaries of literature. I actually cried at the end of it, which isn't something I do a lot! One thing I would like to note is that if Ballister Blackheart was actually considered a villain, he probably wouldn't be able to FaceTime all of the good guys. I mean, they would be able to track him down. The Institute didn't exactly seem serious about catching the man they called "the infamous Lord Blackheart". Other than that though, it was great!
