Staff Pick- Nimona

Here is the run-down of what I liked about Nimona:

1. The artwork.

2. The mixed element of magic and science.

3. The characters. (Especially Nimona and Lord Blackheart.)

4. Goldenloin and Blackheart’s hinted-at relationship.

There were about 2-3 different stories happening at the same time throughout the book. We get a little of Nimona’s story, more towards the end at least. We get to see the struggles that the “hero” Goldenloin faces while trying to do his duty. And lastly, we get to see more of the backstory behind what happened between Goldenloin and Blackheart.

The humor throughout was so dry and witty, I was completely on board. Nimona and Blackheart are just adorable together, so I was glad he let her stick around! (Although I don’t think Nimona would have accepted any other answer.)

If you'd like to check it out, you can find it in the catalog here.
