In a fantastical world where tradition and religion dominate every aspect of life, Henni goes out on her own to ask questions and find her own way. A strong social commentary on religion, culture, women's roles, and more. A sophisticated and interesting graphic novel good for young adults. The artwork is odd and the characters while fantastical are very human-like which is kind of disturbing. Very much worth a read for those interested in breaking away from popular belief and asking questions of why our world operates in the ways it does.

A fable for the 21st century This story is about oppressive corrupt societies that repress their people through various means. Henni escapes from one only to find herself in another which is no better. Told in a simple and even child-like manner, the story is effective, the artwork simple black and white drawings. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

In a village governed by strict religious dogma lives a girl named Henni. Unlike most, Henni is special as she dares to question the way of things and instead relies on reason. Dissastified with her lot in life, Henni strikes out on her own in a search for truth, adventure, and more. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

This was an interesting, if unusual read. The characters are all some sort of animal-human hybrid and they live in some nebulous fantasy place that has no real world-building other than there are strict religious fundamentalists in each region.
Henni's story of individualism, curiosity, and questioning could easily be relatable to many (like me), despite the otherworldliness aspects of the book. The illustrations, mainly black-and-white with some hints of blue and purple, are nicely done and fit the text well.
My only real issue with this book was it seemed to just sort of end without a clear-cut resolution. If you don't mind ambiguous endings, you'll like this book more than I did. ( )
