Eden was a decent book. The story itself is the best part of this graphic novel; I wasn't expecting the twists and was pleasantly surprised. The art was good, not the best I've ever seen but definitely not the worst. What I disliked about this was that some of the text/sequencing of dialogue didn't make a whole lot of sense. It didn't flow as well as I would have liked.
So many inconsistencies and plot holes in this one. Another example of badly thought through worldbuilding, which doesn't make much sense, from a practical viewpoint or an economic viewpoint.
The main characters, a family of two parents and a child, are really unappealing. People are attacked and killed, which elicits little reaction from them (except once, when they tell their daughter to look away, except didn't she just attack someone herself?). The child is a techno-wizard, being so adept at technology she functions like a little walking deus ex machina.
The ending really takes the cake - it is literally impossible. All logic flies out of the airlock.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!

Honestly had some great concepts, and the plot was fairly tight, but the ending didn't make much logical sense. This story also focuses almost completely on the action parts, and not too much on the worldbuilding. The reveals don't pack as much of a punch, because there is minimal worldbuilding, you don't really understand what straits the Earth is in besides the basics. I did like the trio of the main characters, but some of it confused me. Because of the minimal world-building, I wasn't sure why exactly, they were robbing people's homes in order to "survive". Like, is this supposed to be an apocalypse-type story? Are they just doing it because they're unable to do anything else? Has the government completely abandoned the common people at this point? The ending didn't make much logical sense to me as well. I understood what the point of the ending was supposed to be and I understood it was meant to be uplifting. But when you think about it for more than two seconds, you're like, wait but that wouldn't work?
Spoiler talk will be on GoodReads!
It was a decent sci-fi comic. I really enjoyed the drawing style. The plot caught my interest and kept it. Although it was also kinda predictable and i feel like the characters arent well fleshed out, but maybe as the story continues that will get better? Some plot choices didnt rlly work for me, but i was still throughout it all entertained.
(thank u, netgalley for the e-arc!)
