The Night Mother Vol. 1 by Jeremy Lambert

5.0

The Night Mother is a gorgeously illustrated graphic novel. I've been a fan of Alexa Sharpe's work, both original and fan-oriented, so I was very excited to read this graphic novel! The plot is whimsical and full of mysteries. The entire concept of the Night Mother is honestly amazing and feels like it's an adaption of a classic fairytale, not an entirely new one. The plot does have a LOT of information thrown at the reader in a very few pages. I'm a little startled that this graphic novel was only 74 pages, but since it's the first novel in what I hope is a longish series, I can let it slide. In spite of how fast the plot moves, I am very curious to see how the story goes on from the first volume. This volume is a whirlwind, and I wonder if it will keep that pace throughout the series.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!
