Review: Homecoming

Title Homecoming (Mercy Thompson GN #1)
By Patricia Briggs
Genre Graphic Novel
Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Synopsis
The urban fantasy world created by Patricia Briggs comes to life in this graphic novel. Highlighting Mercy's arrival in the Tri-Cities area.

First Sentence
Go for a run, I thought.







I enjoy the world Briggs has created and have loved reading her novels so when I saw there was some graphic novels released mirroring the series I promptly checked them out.

There's only two out so far and while I enjoyed seeing the characters in art form, I found the story, as I often do in graphic novels, rather too light for my taste. It just rushed by and I didn't get enough depth. Because of that, I'm not sure I'll finish the GN series but I will continue with the novels.

All in all, it was fun seeing an artists depiction of some of my favorite characters but I need more story.

Should you read it
I actually would recommend that you read this one if the series sounds interesting. It might give you a taste of the world Briggs has created and get you to read the novels.

  1. Another friend of mine recommended this series (the novels) to me. I'm not a big UF reader, but I may have to give this one a try. Graphic novels aren't my thing, so I'd definitely stick to the "real" books.

    1. Ha ha! That's pretty sad that you think that considering this is a graphic novel. If you don't like the art work on the cover you wouldn't like the book.

  3. I've thought about reading her books. I haven't picked them up yet, but they're on my TBR and have been FOREVER. Hopefully, I'll like it once I finally get around to it.
