Review: Over the Wall by Peter Wartman (G)(L)

Synopsis: A great wall separates a magnificent metropolis from the surrounding countryside. All humans are banned from ever entering the city. A young girl is determined to enter the forbidden city in search of her lost brother. When she crosses over, fantastic adventures ensue in narrow medieval streets, ancient temples, and abandoned bazzars of the haunted city. To save her missing brother, she must grapple with mythical creatures, explore the mystery of the missing inhabitants, and cure the amnesia of an entire civilization. (from the online description)

Review: With single color, dark tones, and blurred lines, Wartman takes the reader into a world of demons and humans. A young girl, certain that she remembers a brother others say never existed, goes into the land of the demons in search of him.
The story, although simple, has good character and depth and a nice balance between action and dialogue.
Solid story, good art – worth reading.
