Spellbound: A Graphic Memoir by Bishakh Som
Did not finish book. Stopped at 29%.
DNF at around 30% - I was simultaneously confused and bored. The story within a story (which was really an alternate history of the author's life, I suppose) didn't really work for me. There was one really powerful moment before I bailed, I couldn't tell if it was real (in the context of the story) or a dream or what. I did skim ahead and I think a lot of the art is lovely. There was a four panel page that worked beautifully on its own, but overall this just didn't come together for me. I agree with someone who complained about the font, as well; it wasn't easy to read, even when the page was magnified.
I'm going to try another book by this author, Apsara Engine, which I hope will work better for me.
