review:
'The Lost Path' by Amélie Fléchais & Jonathan Garnier is the kind of graphic novel that left me scratching my head when it was all over. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

When three young boys set off into the woods from camp with just a sketchy map, weird things happen. They stumble into a fable of a woman swallowed by the roots of trees and her husband, doomed to wait for her. There are also many other forest spirits, both funny and fierce. The boys find themselves in the middle of things, but can they get out again?

It's a story that's more about the journey than the destination, I think. The story feels less cohesive at times and more surreal. The art is pretty unusual and I really liked it. The book is mostly black and white, but color pages are used for emphasis, and in some cases, this becomes a bit startling. So, come for the weird, wandering story, but stay for the interesting art technique.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Lion Forge, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
