Iyanu: Child of Wonder Review

I discovered this graphic novel on the Libby App and was immediately taken away by the cover. One of my goals this year in reading, is to consume more comics and graphic novels. I was not disappointed with Iyanu Child of Wonder!

This comic book series starts with the introduction of Iyanu. A young girl living on the outskirts of a city named Elu. This city is protected by walls to keep the Corrupted out. A darkness that consumes animals and makes them violent towards humans. The Corrputed are spreading and the society within the walls of Elu are crumbling. Something must change and it seems like Iyanu is the answer. But, Iyanu is no ordinary girl. She kept away for a specific reason. No one must know of her special abilities. These abilities that legends says, comes from the Ancient Ones. If she is to be discovered, it could change the state of things.

5/5 Stars

I really enjoyed this comic series! I love finding comics that are different from our normal superhero ones. It's refreshing to change it up a bit. Iyanu was a great start for me to get back into comics again! Firstly, the vibrant colors reeled me in. The colors made me feel like I stepped into this world. I learned a lot interesting facts and notes about Yoruba culture and traditions. The author takes the time to explain the culture and share details about Yoruba traditions, and which parts of Africa they originated from. It was fascinating cause I knew nothing about Yoruba culture. My only takeaway was that the drawing did fall a little flat for me. But, it wasn't anything specific that took me away from the story. I really got invested towards the end. I couldn't put it down and was eager to know more once I finished. I think this a fun series, especially a series that you can introduce to your kids to. It's vivid, imaginative, compelling and fun! I'm looking forward to reading vol. 2!

What's everyone reading this month? Let me know! I curious to know what you like and I also love adding books to my list. It's never ending. Doesn't anyone have this problem or is it just me? Lol!

XOXO

Sincerely,

Veronica
