I knew nothing about this book going in, and I think this was the perfect decision, because my introduction to Nimona was sudden, strange, and confusing -- which is exactly how our main character, Ballister Blackheart, felt when Nimona…

This was a cute, fantastical story with an interesting premise. I liked Nimona's character, but her past was sad. I also really liked Lord Ballister Blackheart and the banter between him and Nimona. I loved the ending. It had a sense of…

Noelle Stevenson is best known for being the creator of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power on Netflix, but Nimona is their graphic novel written far before that show was ever in motion. I got my hands on a copy in middle school and it’s…
