Monstress, Volume One by Marjorie Liu and Sana TakedaThis month marks our annual graphic novel selection, and we’ve chosen the first trade volume of Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda’s Monstress.

Set in an alternate matriarchal 1900’s Asia, in a richly imagined world of art deco-inflected steam punk, MONSTRESS tells the story of a teenage girl who is struggling to survive the trauma of war, and who shares a mysterious psychic link with a monster of tremendous power, a connection that will transform them both and make them the target of both human and otherworldly powers.

Join the GiC Book Club in person at Main Point Books in Wayne, PA! We will meet on Saturday, July 15 at 5 p.m.
