rebecca's Reviews > Darkstalker: A Graphic Novel (Wings of Fire: Legends Graphic Novel)

I know a lot of ppl complained abt the art style change but:

1) I think it’s smart because this book takes place 2000 years in the past, and

2) It finally gave the NightWings draconic snouts, unlike whatever the hell Moonwatcher had in the second series. Their heads literally liked like boxes. This was a BREATH of fresh air.

None of the graphic novels will ever top the actual written books. They’re just too good. The written Darkstalker book is quite literally in my top 5 books of all time, embarrassingly enough, because it’s that good in my eyes. The graphic novels are fun to see things visualized, but are poor in terms of pacing. This isn’t just a WoF issue, either, but just the norm for graphic novels as a whole.

The brutal scenes were good. Many people wanted outright gore for a children’s series which is kinda wild. I was surprised for the SeaWing attack, but not for Arctic’s death. His blood being blue also just takes away from the effect but yolo. Kids’ series.

Anyways, 4 stars and maybe 4.5 on Storygraph. Darkstalker should’ve killed everyone but whatever.
