“The world ended, right? But it didn’t. We’re still here. Things never end. They just change.” – 2/5 stars!
Attention! This book contains: earthquakes, explosions, boat trips, talking bottles, trades, bears, jynx roots and gangs.
Odessa takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where three siblings try to find their mother, who abandoned them and their father after the earthquakes started. This journey starts when Ginny, the older sister, receives a birthday present from her mother. She wonders where she is and why she left her family behind eight years ago, so she decides to go look for her and try to get some answers back. Without her knowing, her brothers followed her and now they team up to try and find her.
To be honest I was not the biggest fan of the story. The art and color scheme were cool and very appropriate for the post-apocalyptic world, but the story is very slow-paced and nothing interesting happens. The characters were okay, but I feel like I would appreciate the book more if there was more character development.
To be completely fair, I didn’t think the book itself wasn’t bad, it was just not that interesting for me. I probably won’t be continuing this series.
***A big thank you to NetGalley and Oni Press for the free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review***
