A Moody and Mysterious YA Graphic Novel That Also Somewhat Frustrated Me

Fly by Night by Tara O'Connor

February 5, 2022 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

I picked this up somewhat randomly at Barnes & Noble, who have happily broken out their YA graphic novels into their own section at the store I go to, so I don’t have to dig through the whole YA section anymore. It makes me really happy to be living through this renaissance of graphic novels, and I’m excited to see it continue expanding. Fly by Night is a good example of the interesting work that’s being done now, and it was an enjoyable read. Dee’s […]

Cute in a not eat your face way

Fly by Night by Tara O’Connor.

December 16, 2021 by BlackRaven 2 Comments

Thanks to my holiday book exchange, I had a chance to pick up Fly by Night by Tara O’Connor.  I had started a sampler awhile back and thought it would be slightly on the slower side, but still it was a fascinating concept. Twin sisters, one who has gone missing, and spooky felt right.  And yes, it was not super-fast pace, but kept things moving. The idea of true supernature never came into play for those few pages, but it quickly does once you get […]
