About the author
Kelley Armstrong
295 books33.6k followersKelley Armstrong has been telling stories since before she could write. Her earliest written efforts were disastrous. If asked for a story about girls and dolls, hers would invariably feature undead girls and evil dolls, much to her teachers' dismay. All efforts to make her produce "normal" stories failed.
Today, she continues to spin tales of ghosts and demons and werewolves, while safely locked away in her basement writing dungeon. She's the author of the NYT-bestselling "Women of the Otherworld" paranormal suspense series and "Darkest Powers" young adult urban fantasy trilogy, as well as the Nadia Stafford crime series. Armstrong lives in southwestern Ontario with her husband, kids and far too many pets.

Okay so I knocked another graphic novel out, a new one too! This was actually a very very quick read because it wasn't really graphic novel length, being called a "primer" and all! Lots of people went into bringing Kelley Armstrong's Otherword to life with the Otherworld Primer, most of who are listed in the little description paragraph above. Also involved were Dave Lanphear and Les Dabel who were in charge of lettering and production. Then consultation was provided by Ernst Dabel and Les Dabel.
Savannah Levine narrates this one and basically introduces us to all the characters in the Otherworld series, main characters such as her parents; Eve and Kris, Paige, Lucas, Jeremy, Hope, Adam, Jamie, Elena and Clay. Karl didn't get an intro unfortunately, and while Cass and Aaron were there, they were never really introduced by name either, then again they didn't get their own novel so maybe that played a part in that little decision.
This is absolutely perfect for the newbie to Kelley's Otherworld series, you get the nit and gritty of who these women are and what they do. No overly long back-stories or any that kind of thing. Having read the series, I know these characters but it's always fun to return to their world in some format!
Sadly, this was done in all back and white, which while it looked nice, I couldn't help but long for color! I think colors would have done the primer extreme justice! But again, I see this as a small little intro guide, so going to the extravagants may not have been in the budget.
Still a nice little quick read!
Overall rating 4/5 stars
