Lightfall: The Girl & the Galdurian: 1 (Lightfall, 1)

Product Information

Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review) Probert's cinematic, full-color artwork is packed with inventive creatures and vivid landscapes perfectly in keeping with the fantasy adventure atmosphere. also really appreciate the way in which probert has very cleverly depicted the anxiety of main character bea through black swirling tendrils that coil around her whenever she feels anxious or panicky. Il Verro Mago, non è semplicemente sbadato, è un anziano che soffre di Alzheimer, disperso chissà dove, senza la compagnia di sua nipote. I’d been interested in picking up more cozy-style fantasy stories, especially graphic novels, so when I saw praise for Probert’s Lightfall series, immediately had to see what it was all about. She is not the only one seeking the Pig Wizard: Cad, who resembles a bipedal, gray-skinned axolotl, believes Alfirid can translate information written in Galdurian that may help him find other Galdurian survivors.

I took particular joy in noticing Bea's cat, who accompanies her on her journey, being delightfully catlike in the background of many panels. Beatrice lives in a beautiful part of her world with her grandfather, who’s a pig wizard, who makes and sells potions, while Beatrice sources out different plants for the concoctions. I don't think there's anything bad with trying to read this book, but it wasn't for me, so I don't think I'd recommend it. Tim Probert is an author and illustrator whose work is made of equal parts wonder, magic, and adventure, with a dose of monsters and the occasional dinosaur. It’s mysterious, and Bea’s scared because her grandfather forgets things, so she decides to go after him, with Cad deciding to accompany her.Rain, mud, small creatures, a triple-eyed witch, giant crabs and Cad’s endless happy-go-lucky she’ll-be-right attitude lead them into a quest to find a statue of a king, a stone bridge and a cursed temple.

Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Probert's debut graphic novel is both inventive and familiar, with unique characters in a fresh fantasy world embarking on a classic quest. Lightfall è una tenerissima graphic novel che tratta temi estremamente delicati in modo altrettanto delicato. Kazu Kibuishi, bestselling author of Amulet Probert’s debut graphic novel is both inventive and familiar, with unique characters in a fresh fantasy world embarking on a classic quest. Its not strictly the “Cozy Fantasy” I was expecting, but overall its fun and leaves you interested to see what happens during the sequel. At every twist and turn it seemed as if someone was there to tell them information that they needed, and they didn't have to do anything but keep trudging on.

I nawet nie wiecie jak bardzo się cieszyłam, że mam drugi tom, bo od razu po skończeniu pierwszego po niego sięgnęłam. The art and colouring of this book was my entire aesthetic each panel had so much detail the author must have put his whole heart into this story.

Detailed, jewel-colored art illuminates Irpa’s radiance as Bea’s journey unveils sweeping landscapes, Ghibli-esque character design, and luminous architecture. Je ne pense pas nécessairement repenser très souvent à ce roman graphique mais il m’a tout de même fait passer un incroyable moment! La valutazione personale non è altissima semplicemente perchè ho percepito il primo volume come una semplice introduzione al wordbuilding e alla storia.I’d felt like I’d been lacking recently in reading graphic novels too, so this was what I’d read during August.

Bea spesso viene avvolta da una nebbia scura che la immobilizza totalmente, non è un potere particolare, non è una scelta grafica, sono attacchi di panico. School Library Journal Thoroughly satisfying, with a cliffhanger ending that’s sure to hook readers. Sandy wants to spend time with his father, but as a doctor, his dad is busy, often sneaking out past curfew to work. Despite moments where the underlying plot can have more development, the fantastical details, nature setting, quest narrative, alongside a fun, energetic duo make this graphic novel series one you definitely want to add to your radar! Welcome to Dungeon Academy, where monsters and creatures train for the dark world that awaits just beyond the dungeon walls!

J'ai aimé l'héroïne peu sûre d'elle et anxieuse qui petit à petit prend confiance en elle même si c'est pas chose faite en ce début d'aventure.
