Review
Light, the first book in this series, was such an interesting read. It was my first wordless graphic novel and I knew that I had to read the second book as quick as I could. To my surprise, this second instalment did not work for me as much as I hoped for.
Lost by Rob Cham ran a similar storyline to its predecessor–an adventure plot where our main character/s find friends and foes along the way. This second book followed through with what its title is, Lost. In this story our adventurers found themselves a weird glitch like portal that they got sucked into, hence the lostness.
I’m not going to lie, the lack of words made this book more difficult than appealing. The story was quite difficult to comprehend compared to the first book and it felt lazy. Although Light wasn’t overly complicated of a story, it felt like there was something to it. A source of purpose. But this book didn’t have that effect on me.
A story of two friends going on an adventure and was separated. Got stuck in a weird dimension where they cannot find one another. These two adventurers, instead, found new people. I find that the theme of found family is beautiful; however, the overall delivery of the book wasn’t very well done. It felt disconnected and boring. It’s as if this was made for the sole purpose of having a companion for the first book.
