Review:
I got this ebook from Netgalley in return of an honest review.
I don't even really know how to describe this book.
Wanderlost was an immensely original and weird collection of comics.
It was basically a gigantic emotional rollercoaster. It was sad, exciting, fun, adventurous, mysterious and mind blowing, all at the same time.
First of all, the story was incredibly fast paced, powerful and energetic. It kept me on the edge of my seat for two hours and I couldn't put it down until I was sure I had finished it. Although I was a bit confused in the beginning, (almost) everything became clear as the story progressed.
The art was so colorful, dynamic and actually kind of poignant and nostalgic, exactly what the story was trying to portray. I can't see it being any different. It was perfect during the entire book.The main character, Kate, has been though a lot in her life, and as everything she believed to be true shatters into nothingness, she develops in ways we couldn't imagine when we saw her at the age of seven. She was badass and a very strong female character, that just had to accept that everything was changing.
At her side, we meet a diverse and interesting set of characters, all fascinating and important to every part of the story, particularly her sidekick, Alarm Cat, and Chris (spoiler?). They were absolutely adorable and a great source of comic relieve in the intense plot.
I really appreciated the flashbacks that we got through the story that gave the backstories of some of the main characters. They were precisely where they were needed and ended at exactly the right place to give us enough information but keep us hooked to see the aftermath of such memories.
In general, I can say without a doubt that that cliffhanger might have ruined my life, because Gods know when I will be able to read what happens next.
Recommend this to anyone who doesn't mind a few splattered guts every now and then.
