Ever After

3/5 stars

I received a free e-ARC of Ever After from Lerner Publishing on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed the art of this graphic novel a lot and the original concept was amazing. The art was colorful but also intense which I think was perfect for the story. The concept as I said was amazing but the execution of it kinda lost me. I don't necessarily think it was a problem with the storytelling but could have more to do with the translation. The circumstances of the zombie apocalypse was never really explained or the zombies themselves.

Some parts of the story surrounding the characters were also not really explained, especially the ending, which just made me confused. I think the pacing was also off because periods of time passed and there was nothing to signal how long it actually was and it really threw me off. The timeline just didn't sit right withe me. I enjoyed the story overall, but I was just confused on the ending and how the zombie apocalypse existed.

EverAfter is a graphic novel where two young girls Vivi and Eva try to escape from the zombie apocalypse. Eva was part of the team in Weimar protecting people from zombies. Vivi was stressed because of her sister's death. The two girls meet in the train when trying to move to Jane. The train stops because of some issues, and they need to walk along to reach the city. The obstacles they face while moving is the story.

After a long, I have read a graphic novel. I was confused while reading and moved back to the pages to get clarity.

I was a bit confused even at the ending because Eva was trying to move to the city to get medicated to recover from her transformation but she can't and she doesn't change into a full zombie in the climax like the man Vivi met in the journey half-man half-plant.

There were a lot of pictures and I enjoyed it. There should be more sentences to make understand the situations. Anyway, I enjoyed the story, and it took me an hour to read the story.
