Review: Monstress, Vol. 1: Awakening

Monstress, Vol. 1: Awakening by Marjorie M. Liu
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I recieved a copy of this title from NetGalley for an unbiased review.

Firstly I wanted to read this title because it is ridiculously pretty. The cover caught me instantly and I was so happy when I was able to get it. This style follows throught the whole volume and even the grotesque in it is somehow beautiful.

There is a bit of confusion about the world and what exactly is going on, that I didn't feel was entirely cleared up, but this is the first of many so I am willing to let that unfold. There is more than enough action going on to satisfy me when reading anyway!

The heroine is a mystery and delightfully frank in her actions. She is clearly on a mission and I will be picking up the second volume to find out what that is, and hopefully build upon the world and make it as rich as it deserves to be.
