Slava by Pierre-Henry Gomont
This was a pretty random choice on my part to pick up. I found the location and time interesting, and I decided to give it a shot. Like several other graphic novels, this also seems to be a book that has some sort of follow-up. The main duo who are introduced to us in the beginning are both people who are trying to live within a new world order, and they have varying degrees of conscience. On their way around the abandoned countryside, they meet a group of miners who need help to survive. This leads us further into the world that exists at the time. My copy was a little blurry, which could have contributed to my experience, but on the whole, it felt a little abrupt. I appreciated the setting and the fact that I did not know anything about the country or its people at the time that is described. I would recommend it in passing, but I do not think I will be reading more of this. I received an ARC thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, but the review is entirely based on my own reading experience.
