I really enjoyed reading something from Maggie outside of The Raven Boys quartet and overall this didn't disappoint!

This book had potential. I liked the build up and characterization but not the overall plot and the end. It felt like it needed a lot more to make it enjoyable and satisfying.

I love Maggie's take on Swamp Thing! I would definitely read it again and again! We need more content like this for DC characters!

I received an ARC and am leaving a voluntary review.

I've loved everything I've read from this author. The twists are intriguing. It's fun to see how she involved plants in the plot line.

And the art by Morgan Beem is spot on!

Happy reading!

I was not able to find time to read this. My apologies for not being able to provide a review. I look forward to reading Ms. Stiefvater's fiction in the future as I've heard great things from fellow readers. I'm putting a star review because I have to but it does not reflect my opinion on the book.

I'd read anything Stiefvator writes! The artwork was stunning! I felt like Little Shop of Horrors was a muse for this graphic novel. I enjoyed the dynamic between the brothers. I'm not one to typically read graphic novels, but this one held my attention and was enjoyable. Not my favorite Stiefvator novel but still definitely showed off her storytelling abilites.

Put Maggie Stiefvater's name on something and I will read it. This was definitely different than what I was expecting. The illustrations by Morgan Beam were amazing! I enjoyed the eco narrative but the characters were a bit so-so for me. Good for such a quick read but ultimately forgettable.

I an unable to review this title, as it was archived before I had a chance to download and read it. This feedback is only to stop this title from adversely affecting my netgalley feedback rate. If in the future I have the opportunity to read this title, I will post a proper review here.

This graphic novel was beautiful and I think I learned stuff about plants. Twin brothers, Alec and Walker, are absolute opposites. Walker is a social butterfly and Alec has a green thumb. They walk in on their dad cheating on their mom and end up spending the summer with their cousins in the country. Alec takes his plant research with him and accidentally releases chemicals into the ecosystem through basically careless handling of toxic materials. But he is a kid and no one else takes his experiments seriously so okay, I guess. Things get out of hand and he loves himself in his work.

I thought it ended weirdly but I think there was a lesson there that I probably didn’t get with the first read. However as I mentioned before, the illustrations were beautiful. The colors were perfect and I loved looking at it. That might also be a reason I missed the lesson.😂

Absolutely loved it. It's definitely a quick read, perhaps too quick, but I still highly recommend it.

Rating: 2.5/5 Stars

I didn't get my ARC downloaded before it was archived. I ended up checking it out from the library a few weeks ago to read with my nephews because they love all things monsters and superheroes. And I love Maggie Stiefvater's writing so this book seemed like a win-win situation for all. Unfortunately, we all thought it was just alright. The art style was an interesting choice but worked for the story. And the cover art which is gorgeous. The characters fell a little flat and we were all disappointed that the Swamp Thing took so long to appear in the story. Overall, It was a bit meh and not Maggie Stiefvater's best work.

I already love Maggie Stiefvater and her novels, but seeing her write a graphic novel was completely different and a fun way to see her abilities work differently. I liked the information shared about plants coincided with the twins as the story went on. I liked the diversity of the characters. I liked the artwork as well.

I have elected not to read and review this book due to time constraints. Thank you for the opportunity.

Solid enough little eco-gothic that has Stiefvater's aesthetics and ideas all over it (felt distinctively, recognizably hers -- and I say that as a positive thing, being a fan of her work), but the plot and character development were threadbare enough that I found myself just wishing I was reading a full-length prose novel rather than a graphic narrative (a rare complaint from me, as I love comics). I would definitely enjoy a Stiefvater swampbilly Gothic novel about plantboys, but sadly, this wasn't it for me.

I love everything Maggie Stiefvater writes, and this was no acceptation, Strange, small town, and magical, this was in her wheel house while still feeling exciting and fresh.

This was an interesting take on the origins of the Swamp Thing! Thank you to the publisher for granting me and ARC of this book for an honest opinion!

A beautiful rendition of another fantastic Maggie Stiefvater writing. I loved loved loved the color palette and art style. I think I need to follow more of Morgan Beem's work in the future. Absolutely stunning and loved the diabetes rep in Alec. I thoroughly enjoyed the character dynamics and watching everyone... grow. I hope there's more in the future!

The art 10/10, the story also 10/10. I was interested to see how Maggie wrote a graphic novel compared to her regular young adult books and the story was whimsical. I wish I could visit the swamp and see the colorful foliage in person.

Very ironic how the characters are Alec and Walked and that’s my sons name! Anyways, I enjoyed this, I always love Maggie’s books! I flew through it and enjoyed the artwork and story!

Alec and Walker are twins, but they couldn't be more different. When they are sent to the swamps to stay with family just before starting college, the two realize the depths of the swamp and the bonds of family are far deeper than they could ever imagine.
Walker is partying, but Alec is spending more time at the lab, to try and experiment with something he feels will outlive the both of them. He continues to be consumed by this project even when tragedy strikes, which starts something that will change life as Alec Holland knows it forever.

I really enjoy Swamp Thing, and Maggie Stiefvater's take on it is really good! Artist Morgan Beem brings the story to life!
