Customer Reviews

Great, but incorrectly depicts the characters’ physical appearances

I love this graphic novel (of course, it leaves out some parts of the original novel because... the book is too long to draw it all! My only really issue with this book is that, in Marie Lu’s original novel, it is clearly stated that Day’s dominant ethnicity is Mongolian. His non-dominant one is Caucasian. I don’t feel like he was shown as that, but others may disagree. Whatever. June’s hair, I believe, was darker and her skin was slightly darker, but otherwise I loved it.
