I’ve really slowed down the rate at which I read graphic novels this year as I feel like they were bulking out my reading goal too much. However, I do still love looking for new ones and I have got quite the list of graphic novels to check out.
The Tea Dragon Tapestry by Kay O’Neill
I’ve already mentioned the rest of this series in these posts, so this will come as no surprise, but my god is this a gorgeous cover. The Tea Dragon series still has my favourite art style to this day and the colouring is always stunning.
This is my favourite cover out of the series as it has pure autumnal vibes and as its my favourite season, that’s a huge win.
Synopsis: Over a year since being entrusted with Ginseng’s care, Greta still can’t chase away the cloud of mourning that hangs over the timid Tea Dragon. As she struggles to create something spectacular enough to impress a master blacksmith in search of an apprentice, she questions the true meaning of crafting, and the true meaning of caring for someone in grief. Meanwhile, Minette receives a surprise package from the monastery where she was once training to be a prophetess. Thrown into confusion about her path in life, the shy and reserved Minette finds that the more she opens her heart to others, the more clearly she can see what was always inside.
Told with the same care and charm as the previous instalments of the Tea Dragon series, The Tea Dragon Tapestry welcomes old friends and new into a heartfelt story of purpose, love, and growth.
Hustle & Heart: Foretold by Heath Amodio
I really like this cover, but I did not like the graphic novel. If I remember correctly, the style is different inside. I do really like the colours used and the character designs are great, but unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend it. The cover is good though.
Synopsis: A year after the mysterious death of his wife, Professor Derek Flynn finds himself waking up, as if from a blackout, in the middle of a catastrophic and fatal disaster. Derek has no idea how he got there, but what’s even more inexplicable is that this has become a common occurrence. In fact, Derek has been lying to his estranged teenage daughter, Casey, about his puzzling disappearances for months. Desperate to get to the bottom of what’s happening to him, Derek reaches out to psychologist Alice Meyers seeking help to recognize the terrifying visions that haunt his dreams: imminent disasters, both natural and manmade, that Derek now feels he is somehow integral to. But with the FBI catching on to his connection with these disastrous events, a manhunt begins, and Derek finds himself tangled in a perplexing web.
Stuck between being a fugitive and a messiah, and on the run in his pursuit for the truth, Derek will discover that there are no such things as coincidences.
