review:
'Hinges: Book 1' by Meredith McClaren is a webcomic turned graphic novel and it was an interesting enough premise for me to want to read more.
Orio is a kind of clockwork doll that is new to the city of Cobble, a kind of massive steampunk city. As part of her orientation, she is supposed to pick a companion, but ends up with the mischievous companion Bauble. Bauble picks Orio, not the other way around. Orio needs to find work to stay in the city, but Bauble is troublesome. As they move about the city, they find themselves in situations and meeting new people. Orio's companion is not liked by most of the people in her new town, but Orion becomes fond of the strange curious creature.
I liked the art. It's kind of a cross between anime and steampunk. The story is kind of weird, but I think I was in the mood for something strange because I ended up liking it more than I thought I would. I'd like to see where the story goes from here as Orio and Bauble explore this unusual city.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Image Comics, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this unusual graphic novel.
