MERIDIAN is the story of Sephie, a sheltered young girl whose life resembles nothing so much as a fairy tale. The beloved only child of the Minister of Meridian, she grows up with an entire floating... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Picked this up on a whim - hey, look, ten dollars! - and absolutely adored it. It very, very much fits the fantasy mold, as a plucky heroine must save her homeland from an evil uncle, but it goes through the motions with style and warmth. The efforts (though moderately faint as of this volume) of the publisher to tie in the narrative to other events in the publisher's "universe" (aka, crossover ahoy!) is a little more sketchy - I've never understood the comic book mentality to shun stand-alone works - but it doesn't hamper the story.

I saw this book in my local bookstore, and the front cover was already curved back from being read - it was brand new! so I gave it a whirl, and it's AMAZING.this is the pocket-sized edition, and it's cheaper than the bigger version of the same graphic novel.the story is that of sophie, a young girl who enjoys being free, who is placed into a very tough job as minister of meridian when her father is killed. It's truly an amazing storyline, and the artwork alone is worth ten times what you pay. The only reason not to buy this book is if you've already bought the bigger version.
