Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Beautiful illustration but not much story here. Book One is entirely introduction of the characters and world building and never gets to any actual storytelling. I was initially looking forward to a female person-of-color story but didn't find much to like here. Hackneyed ideas about sex and magic including a superpowered female who still needs an old white guy to teach her how to be powerful. Yuck. ( ) no reviews | add a review

"Sophie Bangs was a just an ordinary college student in a weirdly futuristic New York when a simple assignment changed her life forever. While researching Promethea, a mythical warrior woman, Sophie receives a cryptic warning to cease her investigations. Ignoring the cautionary notice, she continues her studies and is almost killed by a shadowy creature when she learns the secret of Promethea. Surviving the encounter, Sophie soon finds herself transformed into Promethea, the living embodiment of the imagination. Her trials have only begun, as she must master the secrets of her predecessors before she is destroyed by Promethea's ancient enemy. Complete with character sketches, variant covers and other bonus material, this new hardcover collection is perfect for any fan of this incredible series."-- No library descriptions found. |
