A story about a young girl who wants to save the brother she is beginning to forget, this is a quickly paced volume. Anya doesn't stop - not when presented with a demon from the stories, not when she finds her brother (broken and forgetting himself) and not even when a greater demon (a Named demon) threatens her. We're given much of the background of the world in chunks, though even that is still somewhat sparse compared to how much we learn about Anya through her actions. I wanted to know more about the stories (the humans say the demons got greedy, the demons say the humans became cruel) and the Old City. The magic that fuels the barrier and reasons why the rift happened. Luckily for me this is a series and I have book two (Stonebreaker) waiting for me. This graphic novel did absolutely nothing for me. Girl sneaks out and goes through "portal" type thing to an empty city that has only demons, as the humans have moved out and hope to recapture the city one day. The send 16-year olds each year, but this year our main character's brother did not return. She will find him and return him. She meets a nice demon to help her and escapes the bad demon, dragging her brother back. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

How did this get published? More importantly, how did the author spend so much time on excellent illustration to tell a story that is so mind mindbogglingly terrible? I'm not even sure what the target audience is here, but it feels too creepy for small children and so devoid of purpose for anyone else.
Unfortunate, since the art was good. ( )
