I have found that it is harder for me to connect with characters in graphic novels, but that was not the case with Odessa. Jonathan Hill crafts enjoyable and engaging characters that instantly grab the reader's heart and interest. The story itself was engaging and easy to follow and the art style complimented the writing and story pretty well. OVerall, this was a solid graphic novel.

Odessa is an amazing Graphic novel with beautiful cartoon line. This novel is about the adventure of siblings. When old sister gets the necklace and letter from their mum, who left their family 8 years ago, Ginny decides to find her.  Their living in California, after a big earthquake, which change the world and the people. There's a gang war on the streets, but they are still moving forward despite the many losses. 
I really like this book. It was funny and amusing. I appreciate showing the characters of the main figures and their problems. Also I liked theme od end world. 
I recommend it, it's worth reading.

A graphic novel with a fun post-apocalyptic/western vibe. Hill's art creates a mood and a lot of emotion, even in this three-color format. The story... worked less well for me. There's some confusing worldbuilding -- contradictory dates and so forth. A lot of the dialogue is just bickering, which somewhat tracks, as three of the main characters are siblings, but it's not a dynamic I enjoy over a long period. The biggest frustration for me, however, was that the whole purpose behind the quest -- Ginny deciding she wants to find her mother -- never feels meaningful enough to warrant the cost. (At least not in <i>this</i> volume: yup, this is secretly part 1/?) Quite a bodycount racks up around these kids, and in service to stakes that do not feel justified.

This review feels complainy. That may be unfair: this book was fine! It's diverse, queer, and there are some imaginative pieces. I just didn't love it.

Didn't quite like this. 

Got this copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. 

Wasn't too into this one. Thought the story was quite boring and couldn't really get into it. I had to take little breaks form this in between so I wouldn't get too bored sadly. I did like some of the characters however I thought the lack of the in depth of the story was sad. I just wished for so much more when I read the blurb. 

Sorry but a 2 star from me.
