Review: Forgive-Me-Not
Thanks to NetGalley and First Second for an advanced copy of Forgive-Me-Not by Mari Costa to review! Mari Costa is a favorite graphic novel creator of mine, so I was excited to read her latest work! Her art style is so distinctive, and it works so well in this fairytale-esque story. Costa brings us into the story with her art, punctuated with some well-rounded characters.
The overall tone is whimsical and cozy with a splash of adventure. Forgive-Me-Not and Aisling’s relationship does move a little too quickly for my taste, but it is also a shorter graphic novel. A lot of world building is also packed into a short amount of time, and I do wish we got a little more of that.
But aside form that, this was a delightful fluffy book that I needed after something a little heavier. Definitely check it out when it comes out in April!
4.5/5 stars
