This is a super unique book, structured like a video game guide。 I love the illustrations and quirky humour。 I really enjoyed reading the book, but it made me wish the video game was real![Free ARC from Edelweiss+]

Fever Knights by Adam Ellis is an interesting book that takes the form of a fictional game guide。 The story revolves around Finneus, who is involved in a mysterious accident at Starfish Beach。 According to the description, the book is "structured like an old-school video game strategy guide" and filled with "vibrant comic illustrations, witty humor, richly detailed world building, and a fantastical cast of characters。"Overall, Fever Knights is a fantastic graphic novel that will appeal to fans of old-school game guides and the visuals of Netflix's Stranger Things。 One highlight of this book is how the creator really stuck to the idea of replicating old-school game guides。 I'm sure that they don't print game guides anymore (everything is online), so this is truly nostalgic and a throwback to relics of the past。 I've been a fan of Adam Ellis's comics for a long time, but if I had to complain about 1 thing, I would say that I would have liked if there were more of a plot。 As a fictional game guide, this is great, but this isn't really a graphic novel。 if you're intrigued by the description, I highly recommend that you check out this book when it comes out in May! 。。。more
Kiri,
Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read a digital copy of this book in exchange for a review。 All opinions are my own。I have been very excited to get my hands on this ever since seeing Adam's artwork for it on Instagram! It's a fun comic that is illustrated as a video game guide。 I enjoyed all the characters, monsters, and items and it really made me wish this game was real!
