Graphic novel spotlight - Anzu and the Realm of Darkness

 

Anzu and the Realm of Darkness by Mai K. Nguyen

If you're like me you probably have very little knowledge of Asian mythology. While this book won't tell you everything by any means, it does provide a picture into the world of Japanese myth. We meet a variety of spirits and get a glimpse of their abilities. Anzu is a solid character, dealing with grief and a desire to belong, unsure of who she even is anymore. We see these struggles reflected in characters in the spirit realm as well. With detailed illustrations that use color and light to the perfect degree this is a book that lends itself to frequent re-reading.
