Odessa Reviews
Set at an unknown time in the near future, Odessa tells of an American West Coast that has been left devastated by a massive earthquake. Many people died in the quakes and many more died in the dangerous wasteland of a society that is left behind. People survive by trading goods and sc...
Spot on calling this good for Scott Westerfeld or Neal Shusterman. For me, the story wasn't as satisfying as the art -- and the palate of pink and black is awesome -- and perhaps because it felt like there were too many fight scenes and not enough emotionally-hefty scenes. WHY...
Odessa is a amazing story full of adventure, family and survival. I love the characters and it is beautifully illustrated! ...
This graphic novel was overly long at more than 300 pages. It did keep me engrossed, though, in the post-apocalyptic world that had destroyed cities and bubbled up criminals and other unwanted characters from underground, literally. But I felt there could have been less space given to ...

I received this as an ARC from Oni Press. Thank you. This was a very thought provoking story. I am looking forward to the next part. I will say this. I kept thinking of ?The Grave of The Fireflies? while I was reading it. ...
I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review. WARNING: This is the first book. Don?t go in it like me and expect a full story, don?t be disappointed, like me when I found out that after 328 pages there is a to be continued. But yeah, this why I am rating t...
I read this in one sitting! I'm not usually a fan of graphic novel but this was compared to Neal Shusterman and Scott Westerfeld so I knew I had to request this immediately. I really enjoyed this, it was heart warming and heart breaking at the same time. I thought the drawings wer...
Post-apocalyptic stories are far from my favorite, and it takes a lot for something in that genre to wow me. While Odessa was a good story, it wasn't a great one. The pink and black art was interesting, the characters were endearing, and there were some well-explored themes around...
Odessa was an okay graphic novel that follows three siblings navigating a post-apocalyptic world in search for a mother that left them and their father eight years before. I really enjoyed the colour palette, and the art style was all right. But I felt that the plot was dragged out ...![destiny ♡⚔♡ [howling libraries]](https://images.gr-assets.com/users/1557144778p2/15335689.jpg)
DNF @ 50% I feel bad DNFing this because I usually try not to DNF graphic novels, especially when they're review copies... but this just wasn't doing anything for me and since I'm already clawing my way out of a month-long reading slump, I can't justify boring my...
*Thank you to the publisher for sending me a review copy through Netgalley. This in no way influences my opinion of the book. Ehhhhh. This graphic novel just didn't do it for me. The premise of a journey through a post-apocalyptic world sounded fab, like a huge adventurous unde...
I thought the book was just fine. I thought there were a lot of coincidences that drove the plot forward and I didn?t really connect with any of the characters or their motivations. I did however liked the simplicity in the art style I received a free copy from Netgalley in exchan...
Honestly this was me the entire time: Set in a post-apocalyptic world that has been devastated by a large earthquake, Odessa tells the story of a group of siblings who set out to find their mother. I'm really sad that I didn't enjoy this graphic novel as much as I t...

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. In a post-apocalyptic world which had been struck by severe earthquakes, Ginny receives a letter on her birthday from her mother who had abandoned their family eight years before. Prom...
* Content warnings: physical assault, death, murder, war, torture, cannibalism, absent parent, child negligence, child abuse and blood. * This graphic novel was just okay. I wanted a story full of adventure, love, cute family moments, action and survival. Nothing much happens in thi...
This is a dystopian graphic novel about 3 kids who leaves their home and go find their mom in the this destruid and dangerous world. The art it's so simple and so beautiful I really enjoy this story and i can wait to continue reading it. This is a dystopian graphic novel abo...
Stars: 3/5 Thank you for the free ARC in exchange for an honest review. I'll start with the good things and things I like about this novel. The relationships and the way they were presented in this story was really good. I liked the relationships between Ginny and her brothe...
This book is set in a dystopian world where an earthquake destroyed almost everything. This is the story of Ginny who lives with her father and two younger brothers. On her birthday she receives a gift from her mother. This convinces her that her mother misses her as much she missed he...
Odessa begins with the reader being introduced to a family of a father, daughter, and two sons living in a post-apocalyptic world with zombie like beings as well as gang rivalry. Their mother left the family and the children never found out why. Virginia is tired of her father never wa...
3/5 ? Very interesting world and pretty stereotypical sibling relationships and plot points but overall quite enjoyable. Started out a bit slow but the pacing picked up when I got a quarter in the book. Loved the pink accents of the illustrations but I wasn't huge fan of the...
I love stories about siblings, graphic novels and dystopias. So why didn't I love this one? The drawing style isn't really my thing. But I like the colours, black outlines and a reddish colour. That fits the feeling of this world very well. The Story started promising but...
3.25 stars I feel conflicted :/ On one hand, Odessa is a very heart-warming graphic novel about a sister and her two younger brothers on a journey to find their mom. On the other hand, Odessa wasn?t much of anything. This graphic novel is set 8 years after an earthquake w...
Odessa is a heartwarming story of three children searching for their mother in a post-apocalyptic type world whilst encountering all kinds of dangers. I felt as though the story was good and I did enjoy the story, although it felt really hard to get hooked on this book. I did read it a...
Wow! This one was pleasantly surprising. I'm happy that I was able to get my hands on this graphic novel, especially since it turned out to be a very promising first volume. My first impressions, of course, had to do with the art style. I might be the unpopular opinion here, bu...
It?s a shame Odessa wasn?t all that I?d hoped. Hearing that this was a post apocalyptic own-voices novel featuring Vietnamese main characters really peaked my interest. In a world ravaged by the aftermath of massive earthquakes and societal divide, the Crane family thought the...
Post-apocalyptic fiction is all the rage in these mid-apocalyptic days, at least Odessa's apocalypse is something different to your usual fare - the west of the US has been devastated by earthquakes (think The Big One times a hundred), the East Coast supposedly was unaffected but ...
I liked the art style. It's a dystopian graphic novel set after an earthquake. Three kids set to find their mother. I did not like the repetition in the book. Overall it was good. I liked the art style. It's a dystopian graphic novel set after an earthquake. Three kids set to f...
Eight years ago, after a massive earthquake, Virginia Crane's mother left and never came back. Ginny had gotten used to a life without her mother, helping her father take care of her two younger brothers, Wes and Harry. But on her eighteenth birthday, when she receives a mysteriou...
