Where It's Not For Me

Reyn, Vol. 1: Warden Of Fate by Kel Symons
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is a graphic novel set in a time and place that looks like fantasy but has a science fiction component that tells you that something else is going on. Though the homes and villages have a medieval look, and monsters are a hazard in a way that feels like other fantasies, there are examples of high tech that intrude and hint at a truth that is most clearly revealed (no spoilers) at the end of the first volume. It's a pretty good idea and it's handled... okay.

I liked the art and didn't have any strong objection to the story, but it didn't interest me much and I have no inclination to look for the rest of the series. I suppose I'd read them if they were beside me on the couch, or if I were waiting in a dentist's office and they were available, but that's not much recommendation.

Read if you like colorful lizard people. They were the best part.
