This graphic novel was very similar to the book, which I really appreciated. I know you aren't supposed to judge a book by it's cover but I think judging a graphic novel by it's cover is acceptable. I usually don't read that many book to graphic novel adaptations but the cover art looked promising. So, when I saw this at the library I had to pick it up. And the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together and the lengths their country will go to in order to keep its secrets.
