I love Gene Luen Yang's work. It always hooks me right away, keeps me wondering, and sticks with me long after finishing. Saints is no different. I felt so bad for Four-Girl! And I was really hoping for a different end, even though I knew better. I honestly wasn't expecting the prologue at all thoug...
Saints by Gene Luen Yang is about this Chinese girl that was call "four girl" and how her grandfather never liked her especially right after she accidentally broke a Chinese god sculpture. After that she was called a "devil" and because of that she started to make weird faces. Then she was sent to s...
This is an excellent book, the drawings are great and I love how the Joan of Arc sequences are drawn in gold.I also learned I know appallingly little about the Boxer Rebellion. I will be reading [book:Boxers|17210470] next, so perhaps I will learn a bit. I guess it it supposed to be first, but that'...
And the conclusion to the duology was just as good as the first one. It fills in some gaps that the first one left you off with and properly shows you the ending to the whole series as well. It's heartbreaking, emotional, and painful all around. This series is not for the faint of heart, but it is a...
I preferred this volume over "Boxers"! There is an amazing visual that just caught my breath and when I was finally done, I needed to take the rest of the day before being able to start another book.
Vibiana's story feels unfinished and underdeveloped. I'm hoping for context and clarity in Boxers. I think you're meant to read Boxers first, but I wanted to see how the experience differs if you switch up the reading order.
3.5 StarsFor some reason when I picked this up from the library I thought this was the first book...I loved the illustrations and the insight to the Chinese culture and history. However, I wasn't a fan of the ending!! I just expected more.
This was the conclusion to Boxers and used characters and events from the previous book, so it would be very helpful to read Boxers before reading this book. I was able to get through this book fairly quickly, but I was a little disappointed that this side of the story wasn't as developed as Boxers...
After reading "Boxers", my expectations for "Saints" were pretty much set. I expected a fairly strong main character, underdeveloped secondary characters, and a fantastic justification for the Christian missionary side of the Boxer rebellion. Unfortunately, this is not what I got. The main character...
