Faith Erin Hicks, New York Times bestselling and Eisner Award-winning creator An invigorating, original fantasy that’s entertaining and reflective in equal measure.

Despite moments where the underlying plot can have more development, the fantastical details, nature setting, quest narrative, alongside a fun, energetic duo make this graphic novel series one you definitely want to add to your radar! Przypomniały mi, jaką fajną odskocznią są powieści graficzne od zwykłych książek, po które sięgam jednak najczęściej.

For fans of sweeping worlds like Star Wars, the first book of the Lightfall series introduces Bea and Cad, two unlikely friends who get swept up in an epic quest to save their world from falling into eternal darkness.

None of the illustrations of their experiences are overly graphic, making it a good introduction to this upsetting topic for middle-grade readers. Will these two unexpected friends find the beloved Pig Wizard and prevent eternal darkness from blanketing their world? As a whole the book successfully mixes the cute and funny with a sense of magic and adventure, and I think it could make a lot of middle grade readers happy.Booklist Probert’s debut combines engaging fantasy elements: mysterious enemies, fateful responsibility, and death-defying action against a variety of foes. While Lightfall's story is not particularly special - its narrative is pretty episodic and predictable, and its dialogue is pleasant but not electric - the real star of the show here is Probert's art. also really appreciate the way in which probert has very cleverly depicted the anxiety of main character bea through black swirling tendrils that coil around her whenever she feels anxious or panicky. Its not something that vanishes after its introduced, rather its an element explored until the very end. But when the two arrive home, the Pig Wizard is nowhere to be found—all that’s left is the Jar of Endless Flame and a mysterious note.
