Reviews
Demon in the Wood is basically 0.01 of the Grishaverse, the origin story of the Darkling. If you know, you know. So let’s get into it.First of all, the artwork is absolutely stunning. The art style is that great blend of expressiveness and beauty. You could frame pretty much every page and be happy.As far as the story goes, it's pretty good. It's an origin story, so there's not a lot of need for it to be complicated. Throw in the fact that it's a graphic novel, and the feelings, emotions, and complexity of the characters needs to be delivered via the artwork - which is a pretty big ask. I do feel that Leigh excels at character-driven dialogue the best (from what I've read in Six of Crows anyway), and in this, it doesn't quite give me enough oomph.Our main character, the focal point of the book, is missing that personality. Sure he's broody and secretive, but to really empathise with him, I needed more than that. In reality, this doesn't really add anything to the story, but if you're a Grishaverse fan, you'll buy and read it anyway.Overall it was an enjoyable and quick read, the artwork was absolutely gorgeous, but the story could have done with a bit more punch.3.5 starsFor more reviews and book recommendations, check out my YouTube channel
