review:
‘A Sparrow’s Roar’ by Cristina Rose Chua and Paolo Chikiamco is a graphic novel about taking sibling rivalry too far and a sister who has to make up for a mistake.

Two warring armies fighting over Esterpike, one army led by brothers, the other led by two women, with one, Per, impersonating her dead sister. Per must be the face of her city-state to negotiate for war support. While she is doing this, she uncovers a vile conspiracy.

I was lost for the first third of this story, as if there is a previous volume I was unaware of. The art is a fine manga style and the story eventually came together for me, but I’m nor sure many readers will stick with it.
