Review:
This is a silly, goofy book my husband got me when I had mentioned Clash Royale being a game I have played continuously for (now 9) years and yet doubted there was merch for. I thought it was just going to be a silly book with tips and tricks, but it actually has a full on story about hog riders. Not all Hog Riders are the same, and sometimes people don’t have the same ideals. While you can love someone or a group, sometimes you flourish best somewhere that you can just be you. The artwork was really well done, and I really liked the story, which while aimed for a younger audience, can resonate with all.

Star rating: ✯✯✯✯✯

** This is the first graphic novel I have ever written a review for! **
