The explanations for how morphing worked, and the ability to communicate telepathically (thought-speak) was done well for a visual medium. I loved how it was kept largely vague as to any period indications, since the series started in the 90s, but didn’t include anything that would be terribly out of place in either the 90s or today.
As far as I can recall, Grine is faithful to the overall story of the book. Having not read the books in years, it was fun to read and remember as the story progressed. The art is colorful and vivid, and it was so wild seeing not just the kids illustrated but the Taxxons, Hork-Bajir, and of course, Andalites! Sure I saw the tv series that was made back in the late 90s (we owned the VCR releases of them), but seeing the kids illustrated as KIDS in addition to the aliens is truly exciting.
I was lucky enough to receive a digital ARC for this graphic novel adaptation of my favorite early childhood book series, and let me say, it did not disappoint.
