This story wasn't ground-breaking or overly complex, but was still enjoyable and one I can recommend to readers from ages 9-19 without worry, and can also seeing adults enjoying it as long as they don't try to compare it, and instead are willing to accept it for what it is, a YA teen story about a girl trying to find her place.Danielle Paige will be autographing her new young adult novel Mera: Tidebreaker, illustrated by Steven Byrne, on Sunday, April 7th at Time Warp Comics starting at 11:00 a.m. I know there seems to be a push for 'older' characters and situations in YA lately, but this one tends to fall back more to the YA when it started to really get noticed, and I loved the somewhat simpler style that tells the story that teens can read and enjoy without being asked to grow-up too fast. I enjoyed the artwork, and the story is easily one that YA readers would enjoy. While it's definitely YA and for the teen crowd, I enjoyed reading Mera's story, and seeing this adaptation. I don't read graphic novels or comics as often, but with all the movies, I've started to find that I do enjoy the stories.
