Review: Clara & The Devil, Volume 1 by Olivie Blake and Little Chmura
It is rare I get the opportunity to review a graphic novel, so when Tor emailed me to ask if I wanted to review Clara & The Devil I jumped at the chance.

I devoured the whole graphic novel in just two sittings as it’s a story that keeps a lot of information close to its chest, but hints at just enough to keep you reading. This is just Volume 1 and it’s clear that there is a lot more to be explored in the next volumes.
