review 1: Compared to comic books of superheros running around saving the world this was very good. Compared with comics that are totally honest and rip your heart out it wasn't quite there. It was interesting, a young girl coming of age and trying to make her way in the bizarre world in which she'd been born. The problem was how normal the girl was, trying to win a beauty contest to join the ideal beauty of her clan. She was just a bit normal and dull and hard to identify with, her mismatched brothers and sisters are much more interesting characters. But I would still recommend it. It's nice to read something that is so original and different.
review 2: Carla Speed McNeil's Finder series is the best science-fiction comic currently published, and the most recent installm
... moreent continues the high level of quality McNeil has established in earlier volumes. The Finder books take place in a rich foreign landscape, but like the best writers of sci-fi (and unlike the worst) she knows that it's more important that SHE has it all worked out and only gives us the audience peeks at that world. Her books are also populated with fantastically rounded out characters facing real-life problems. The only problem I have with this book is that it might be a bit inaccessible to new readers (due to those established character interactions, not the world building stuff; that she catches us up on rather smoothly). But then why would you want to jump into this series nine books in anyway? Go back and start at the beginning to learn the background of the relationships hinted at in this book. You won't be disappointed. less

It was good, but not quite as good as I expected. Very dark.
