Read this book last weekend; it was quite good.

Overall the plot and the characters were good, although not unexpected. 

It was an interesting story, and I really enjoyed the magic systems. I am comfortable with the ending in this book, but it is set up for a second. 

It's written about twins by actual twins, which is kind of cool.

The book itself has some pretty foiling and the inside of the cover has a nice illustration. 

It was a good read; don't know if I'll bother to pick up the next. 

Swamp Thing: Twin Branches

By Maggie Stiefvater 

Illustrated by Morgan Beem

187 pages

Graphic novel

Paperback 

I never read much Swamp Thing before; this is a reboot. 

This was great! And a very quick read - maybe about an hour?

I love the art.

and the shifts in tone. 

The relationship between the various family members is interesting, relatable, and realistic. 

The protagonist has diabetes, and it's not a plot point. Just a characteristic. 

When I ordered from my local bookstore, I was able to get it personalized & signed! Shout out to One More Page Books! ❤

This was a cool origin story, and I'm curious to see where it goes next!
