Review of 'Stand Still - Stay Silent, Book 1' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Gorgeous artwork and a really solid story so far, but the pacing is terrible in the first half. The first ~60 pages is a slow prologue that isn't relevant to the main story, then the ~100 pages after that feel like an introduction to the characters and world but no progression on the plot. Luckily the fun dialogue and great art carry those parts, and the comic really started getting good after that. Book 2 will probably be a lot better.

If you're looking for an exciting, action packed story, this isn't it. But if you're looking for a long, slower paced character-driven adventure or just a fun casual read: welcome aboard!
