Hello! I’m reading a lot of books at once and there have been a couple of ARCs so I know I haven’t been sharing as many reviews, but I’m still posting on Instagram, @thefictionfeature if you want to check that out!
One-Sentence Summary:
Alec Walker has been experimenting with plants for a long time, but after one of his experiments is ruined, chaos ensues from all directions. (Swamp Thing origin story)
My Review:
I requested this book because it looked worth the read and I LOVE Maggie Stiefvater. I’m not usually a big graphic novel or superhero person, but I decided to give it a shot. Overall, I wasn’t disappointed. TWIN BRANCHES was the tiniest bit confusing, partially because I read it on such a small screen and couldn’t see some words, but otherwise really good. Stiefvater applies her familiar technique to all of the writing of the novel, and despite being different from her other books, TWIN BRANCHES still has the same Maggie Stiefvater glow. The art in this book was really beautiful. It suited the story so well and in some times was so wonderfully intricate that all I could do with my eyes was follow the lines. I haven’t read any other DC books or comics besides WONDER WOMAN: WARBRINGER by Leigh Bardugo, so I can’t say how much fans of other SWAMP THING installments would like this, but fans of Maggie Stiefvater will not be disappointed!
⭐️⭐️⭐️/5.
