![]() ![]() ![]() In sum, the art is nice, the story so-so. The story wraps up too quickly and left me unsatisfied. Her mother has issues with money appearing in her PayPal but then she’s cool with it. Suddenly she changes at the end but it felt forced. At one point does not defend a girl who asked about board games. She’s likable but naive and lacks confidence in the beginning but suddenly dyes her hair. Anda is not unlikeable but she’s an odd character. Anda is naive about unions in China and other issues in the real world on the other side of the globe. Sure there was a girl group but the story quickly drops this aspect and moves on to the Chinese worker who mines gold. I was glad to see a story that said it was about girl gamers, but it really wasn’t. The main issue with this book centers around the writing. The panels flow well and character designs are solid. Firstly, the art is great, emotive and a nice choice of color palettes. ![]() I really wanted to like this book because I had heard it recieved positive reviews, but honestly I felt disappointed. ![]()

If you don’t want it to be sour, you have a really loose, bubbly starter. Acetic acid is what gives it its tang, which you can control with the percentage of water you put in it - so if your dough is more play-doh-ish, it’ll be really sour. There’s a friendly bacterial culture called lactobacillus, and that’s has two main acids: acetic acid and lactic acid. So it’s a symbiotic relationship, using natural yeast. So you’re just keeping it well on a regular basis, putting it in a nicely temperatured environment where it’s doing what it’s supposed to, and you’ll have something that will leaven, that will flavour, and that will preserve. So what you’re keeping it hydrated with is water, and what you’re feeding it with is flour. How would you explain what a sourdough starter is to a bread beginner? Wild yeast, when captured in a slurry, makes a culture that you can keep alive indefinitely so long as you’re hydrating it and feeding it.

I can’t think of a single character I didn’t like-even including the villains. I liked the storytelling but the verb tense didn’t seem to fit as well as in Defy the Stars. Strangely, this is the second book I’ve read lately that’s written in third person point-of-view with present-tense action.

First to Dark Horse Comics where it would have been called Big Red, but he fell out with publisher Mike Richardson over the Storyteller series.
