There is an adventure that has never been taken before, but we know how our heroes’ paths will go. There are friends we have never seen but are old, comfortable ones. There is a new voice, Aiza, that we know the story of. Girl power, family, friends, loyalty, and hope among the despair play a role in both stories, so it was not hard to make the leap. I did notice that my feelings of the book changed from “this is new and fresh” to “we do have a new voice, but I know this story.” Also, I was being influenced by having just watch the animated series Arcane (which is a prequel story to the game League of Legends). However, it was not what I was expecting. I was excited to read as it was a graphic novel, but also had a look of fantasy and historical, which is a genre I enjoy. I received my copy of Squire by Sara Alfageeh and Nadia Shammas through here.
