I always struggle with novel to graphic novel adaptions for this reason. There were moments when I really didn't know what was the climax or what was the push in the story and was very disappointed. There were many times that I felt like things were left out when they shouldn't have been, or random parts of the plot that did not fit at all. Unfortunately, that is what happened with this adaptation. I think it's a very big challenge to make sure everything is captured so there are no plot holes or confusion. The issue with adapting a novel into a graphic novel is that you have to leave out a lot of pieces - plot, dialogue, character build, etc. It camedown to poor adaption from book to graphic novel. I also felt like the flow was very choppy and parts of dialogue that should have been in were missing.

As in the action and words didn't match up at times. However, there were many times where the words didn't match up with the scene.or more the art didn't convey the words very well. I loved the artists style and found it very whimsical. The art style was gorgeous, everything was so vibrant with colour and colour played a huge role in this graphic novel. If they can do it in the large Marvel universe they can do it here. Whether through art or through a little dialogue here and there. Yes, you can't use large dialogue in graphic novels, but with a magic system it still needs to be explained some-how. There are those called 'magically inclined' and then those that are 'wizards' but there is no explanation into the magic system. Also, I really don't understand the magic system. You got to see many cities but I would have liked more time and explanation in each of them. I just felt like more could have been played up. There was definitely a lot of traveling involved in this small graphic novel and you get to see the outside world and some world build. Also the bad guy.he was in the graphic novel for maybe 5-6 pages.I still don't understand why he became evil and what really is going on there.

I also felt like they didn't change by the end of the graphic novel and while there is hint of the second book, I still wish we got more character build. There is nothing really original about them. Sydelle is your typical strong-headed sassy female and North is mysterious with a sad past. I wanted to like Sydelle and North so bad.but I know nothing about them. This was sent to me in exchange for an honest review. ** Thank you to Disney-Hyperion and the author for sending me an ARC of this graphic novel.
