The Lucky Teapot [4 stars] I enjoyed it, the personality of the characters, the artwork, and the story. #Endoftheworld [2 stars] I was surprised by the role social media played in the story. A story with a cute misunderstanding. The Great Flood [3 stars] Again, I enjoyed the art style a lot. It’s so cartoony. Heavy inspiration from Noah’s Ark. The Demon with the Matted Hair [2 stars] Knowledge is power. Frog Skin [3.5 stars] Interesting story! The Girl Who Married a Tiger [3 stars] When being clever saves the day! Ghost Pepper [3 stars] The facial expressions are hilarious. Love the ending. Two Foxes [2 stars] I liked the artwork. After the Rain: The Origin of the Rainbow [3 stars] From the Journal of the Monkey King [ 1 star] Felt too abrupt. Urashima Taro [3 stars] ☹ The Ballad of Mulan [3 stars] The Tiger, The Brahmin, and the Jackal [4 stars] Tongue Cut Sparrow [ 3.5 stars] The Legend of Asena [ 4 stars] The History of the Spectre Ship [2 stars] Tamamo: The Fox Maiden [ 2 stars] The Three Rhymesters [1.5 stars] I really liked the art. Gold sister, Silver Sister, and Wood Sister [3 stars] Hoichi the Earless [ 2 stars] The Flying Ogre [ 3.5 stars] Heavy. *Received via NetGalley for review* Definitely packed full of stories! Which means, of course, that the quality of them is a mixed bag. All of the art was well done (even if some of it wasn't my style -that's how it's going to be in a collection!), and the lettering serviceable (expect for a few where the lettering isn't quite dark enough - hopefully something that will be fixed in publication). Two main issues: it should be made clearly on the title page for the story where the folktale originates from, rather than just in the table of contents; some of the stories don't really add anything or seem incomplete. Maybe this is a cultural difference, because Western audiences are used to fairy tales and myths having clear endings, usually with morals, and maybe this isn't the case in Asian folklore. But a few (like "From the Journey of the Monkey King" and "The Three Ryhymsters") are only a few pages and are too short to really provide any punch. "Frog Skin," "Gold Sister, Silver Sister, and Wood Sister," and "The Flying Orge" are the best of the bunch. * reviewed from uncorrected e-galley diverse children's middlegrade graphic novel (Asian stories from various cultures retold by different graphic artists) terrific collection of stories from a wide selection of Asian cultures, for grades 4th and up (they would entertain teens and adults, as well, but are PG). The only thing I was disappointed with was the western looks (long, light-colored hair) of the wife in "The Frog Skin" story, that seemed like an odd element of cultural white-washing that didn't need to be there. Other than that, I really enjoyed this high-quality compilation of diverse stories reimagined by different, acclaimed graphic novelists (some of them with Asian backgrounds) with different drawing and storytelling styles. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
