I'm doing a collective review for all of the graphic novels from the Rivers of London series that I've read this year, because I don't have much to say about them individually. I only read the graphic novels because they keep getting referenced in the novels and I hate being out of the loop. But I haven't really enjoyed any of them and I feel that they would be better served as short stories to be honest. The art isn't really to my taste either, though that's not a knock against it, that's just a personal preference thing. The one thing about the art that does genuinely annoy me is that on occasion Guleed is drawn bare-armed in t-shirts. No hijabi I've ever met wears a t-shirt without something long-sleeved underneath it!
Graphic: Sexual content, Slavery, and Violence
