I liked this Wings of Fire series very much and have gobbled up each title as it became available. I think current fans of this series will like the graphic novel however, I will direct first time readers to the chapter book for a better introduction to the story.more I'm more sensitive to visual imagery, and that may play a part in my reception of the book, but it will make me think a little harder about who I hand this book to. It's not graphic enough to be inappropriate for some of my older readers, but it distracted me from the story more than I think it would've if I had read the chapter book version.

And they didn't add nearly all the gory scenes from the book (such as scavengers getting their heads bitten off, gross) and I was grateful for that. I'm happy to say I didn't mind the blood and gore too much, it wasn't very realistic.
And there's a WAR going on so there's bound to be some blood. I mean, dragons aren't exactly animals of peace. I was a bit unsure of how the violence would be drawn. I spent time studying each picture (although sometimes an intense scene would cause me to backtrack and study the drawings better - I read too fast!).
