Severed

by Scott Snyder and Scott Tuft

Another book where I wish Goodreads allowed for 1/2 stars. I liked this book a lot, and sometimes I think 3 star ratings are viewed negatively here. But, this is a good book ya'll!

It wasn't as scary as the front cover blurbs would have you believe, but it definitely had some horrific elements, and I really liked following Jack's tale.

He was a likeable(ish), naive(ish), and friendly(ish) character. And he was also younger (12) than most characters I read and made some seriously foolish decisions that caused him a lot of heartache and fear. Lessons learned for sure in this bind up.

Anyway, I don't want to spoil anything but the Goodreads synopsis gives the jist of the story. I recommend reading that if you're interested. Just know, that if you choose to read this story, you're in for a heck of a ride with young Jack as he makes some pretty twelve year oldish mistakes.


Definitely going to be checking out more from Scott Snyder and Scott Tuft in the future, and I absolutely loved the creepiness of the artwork (thanks to Attila Futaki - will definitely find more work by them too).
