I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
I had expectations for this one, the blurb especially seemed to mention something I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
I had expectations for this one, the blurb especially seemed to mention something in the way of that Mia's group of friends (all boys) was about to change as they were growing up. I was looking forward to seeing how the group would handle it, if they would fall apart, or not? And also how Mia was going to be changing. Sadly though, I didn't see anything changing about the group or things getting complicated. Or at least, not major things. I saw small things, like Mia suddenly having a different kind of interest in Gauthier (though I have no clue if that was like > love or just a bigger kind of friendship), Mia at times fell a bit out of place in the group (but only a bit, most of the time the guys accepted her fully), the boys getting girl attention (and Mia having to be the messenger). So yeah, a bit of a shame. I was quite curious as I have seen friendships fall apart due to girls and boys mixing up. Boys or girls suddenly falling for their best friend, or that they would rather form a group with other of the same gender. Or that due to bodies changing they will act differently around each other. Not to mention how people outside view having boys as friends. I have had enough boys as friends, nothing more, but for some reason people often assumed we were dating or something else. Um, no. So that is what I kind of expected from this. Seeing a close-knitted friendship change due to people growing up.
In fact I was mostly bored while reading as it was just Mia and her friends playing games, watching movies (from romance to horror), trying to go to a concert, going to school. We see that Mia has trouble at school, not only her grades are pretty terrible, but she also has troubles with connecting with the other girls (to which I could relate oh so much).
I found the boys way more interesting than Mia. Sorry Mia. You are a nice gal, and at times quite fun, but I wouldn't have minded if we had gotten more POV's. Like Zouz, or Garthier's POV.
I did like that Mia found a hobby she wanted to pursue. I would have loved to see that video she made.
The art? Not entirely my favourite. It did remind me a lot of Code Lyoko.
The ending? Eh, not too happy with it. Are cliffhangers really needed? I never like them. Not in books I love (as you always have to wait) nor in books I didn't quite like (as you don't want to continue the series, but yet you do want to know how things continue).
So yeah, not entirely what I was expecting, and it took me hours to get through this. Every time I had a small moment of nothing happening I read a few pages.

Ik heb hem uitgelezen (ondanks twee keer een verkrachting en heel wat andere stukken waar ik echt het boek wilde yeeten) maar nu nog steeds niet helemaal een idee wie nou de moordenaar is (is het toch die ene man die geen graantje hersenen en moraal heeft). ...more

Ik vond het tof geschreven, erg interessant, mooi om Delft te zien. Maar ja, dat einde vond ik gewoon erg jammer, het voelde erg rushed, voor mij zou het helpen als we in ieder geval een epiloog hadden gekregen. ...more

En daarbij ontmoeten we ook weer wat nieuwe karakters en is het mysterie erg leuk om te lezen. Ja, ik heb 100% genoten! ...more

Dus dit is hoe het is begonnen! Haha, geweldig dat een schoolreisje naar een nuclear eiland gaat, tja wat kan er mis gaan. XD Ik vond Kato ook een tof karakter en leuk om te zien hoe zij vrienden is geworden met Max. Ook komisch dat het hem niet lukt om handen te tekenen, goh dat is wel echt een tekenaar ding blijkbaar. Het broertje vond ik hier minder, erg vervelend. Maar wel leuk hoe het verhaal loopt, spannend, met leuke tekeningen. Ook leuk het wisselen tussen stukjes met tekst en dan weer strips. ...more

De art was ook echt tof. Maar ja, ik vond de slechteriken verveeld en niet leuk, op punten vroeg ik me af of de knul die met de mast was geraakt want zijn moeder is duidelijk de piraat op zijn boot, zijn vader is magisch een piraat geworden, en de slechteriken zijn er blijkbaar ook bij (hoe dan???). Ik weet dan ook niet of ik het volgende deel wel wil lezen. ...more

Ik las deze serie vroeger echt veel, en ik ben blij dat de humor nog steeds hetzelfde is. En leuk om modernere woorden/dingen voorbij te zien komen alleen dan met een vleugje A&O. Zoals een HST of de ASAP of iemand die Macrobiotix of Boxoffix heet. En tja, weet je, ik gaf Fleurtje ook geen ongelijk, die man van haar mag best eens zijn best doen....more

Or well. One of them desperately wants to leave the cold and just go somewhere warm. But a lot of things happen and instead they end almost nearly incinerated and oh yes stuck with dinosaurs. This made me laugh quite a few times and I was curious to see if the two would ever get home and what the other would think of these HOLIDAYS (again I need that pretty font). I wasn't too charmed by the dynamics at times between the penguins. Maybe because I am tired of enthusiastic but dumb vs looking at things more reasonable and smart character traits. ...more

So happy that this series is getting bundled, it makes it much easier to keep track given that Webtoon ONCE again forgot all my progress. Thanks. That means for the next one I will have to see how much I already read. But this is a great series and I love the amount of character arcs and love they get, the fab stories, humour along with seriousness, and of course the fab art. Onwards to Vol.5. ...more

Ditmaal een verhaal over dubbelgangers tekenen, maar wat als ze er helemaal klaar mee zijn? Niet erg origineel maar wel erg leuk om te lezen. Max was wel echt een eikel in dit deel, hopelijk heeft hij er echt wat van geleerd. De gevechten waren leuk en ik vond de doodles (sorry, droedels is gewoon echt zo'n lame woord in het NL) leuk gedaan. Extra punten voor Dungeons & Donuts, Kato is echt een toffe hoofdpersoon/vriendin. Ik wil zeker de andere delen ook lezen. ...more
Leo was annoying, but I am glad that eventually she did change a bit, but LORD it was hard. Bethany (her motor) this, Bethany that, doing dumb shit orLeo was annoying, but I am glad that eventually she did change a bit, but LORD it was hard. Bethany (her motor) this, Bethany that, doing dumb shit or not even checking if Vega would be happy, hating on everything that is gay (which I found rude). And yes, I understand the fan club was a bit much with their stalking/being over the top, but we also saw scenes of them just calmly being around her and trying to be kind to her, giving her presents (which she ripped up), asking for help with studying (which she bluntly ignored). And yes, Vega was a bit much at times, but as we find out more I could understand why she did what she did. I am happy with how things ended and I am happy to see the couple I did like a few times more, plus I liked the art. But yeah. Leo should have been a better character from way earlier. ...more
