A review by klsteel
Nimona by ND Stevenson

5.0

I had never heard of the Nimona web comics until the book was published. The art work is very Adventure Time-ish, so I was keen to pick it up, even without really knowing much about it.

Here is the run-down of what I liked about Nimona:

1:The artwork.
2:The mixed element of magic and science.
3:The characters. (Especially Nimona and Lord Blackheart.)
4:Goldenloin and Blackheart’s hinted-at relationship.

There were about 2-3 different stories happening at the same time throughout the book. We get a little of Nimona’s story, more towards the end at least. We get to see the struggles that the “hero” Goldenloin faces while trying to do his duty. And lastly, we get to see more of the backstory behind what happened between Goldenloin and Blackheart.

The humor throughout was so dry and witty, I was completely on board. Nimona and Blackheart are just adorable together, so I was so glad he let her stick around! (Although I don’t think Nimona would have accepted any other answer.)

I definitely hope there is more of Nimona and everyone else to come! I’m very pumped to get my hands on more of Noelle’s work. Lumberjanes is next on my list! I don’t have much else to say except I recommend everyone get their hands on this and give it a shot!
