Monstress, Vol. 1: Awakening by Marjorie M. Liu

Monstress, Vol. 1: Awakening

Synopsis:
Set in an alternate matriarchal 1900's Asia, in a richly imagined world of art deco-inflected steampunk, MONSTRESS tells the story of a teenage girl who is struggling to survive the trauma of war, and who shares a mysterious psychic link with a monster of tremendous power, a connection that will transform them both.

Rating:★★★

Review:
Ehh, I'm underwhelmed.

This was not at all what I thought it was going to be about but that's not necessarily​ a bad thing. I was confused at one point because I had no idea what was going on or where the plot was headed but eventually things were cleared up. The world building could have been a little better, I felt like it was just thrown together in a "here you go" type of way. 

The action is there, the graphics are there, but I just wasn't into it as much as I thought I would be. I'm not really sure where I stand on continuing this series because it just wasn't that great for me.
