Both characters are also drawn so very differently. Everything about it was just cute and respectful. I understand why they both were so drawn to each other. While Hamal seems a bit more serious but kind. He is endearing, sweet but hides behind a bit of humor. I took an instant liking to Blue whose style I love to see. There was something so very appealing about these characters. My desire for more will tell you that I clearly did love reading this book. I understand this was only a 128 pages, but come on. More on that ending where they are given a task. More on the world where there are ghosts, necromancers and reapers. I feel like it barely scratches the surface and there is just so much more left to discover. The biggest complaint that I have with this story is that I wanted more. Hamal is alive but he can see ghosts and over time they have stricken up a friendship. Blue is a ghost that is an inbetweener, meaning he hasn’t moved on yet. Taproot is a graphic novel that focuses on the relationship between Hamal and Blue.

But something eerie is happening in town, leaving the local afterlife unsettled, and when Blue realizes Hamal’s strange ability may be putting him in danger, Blue has to find a way to protect him, even if it means… leaving him. Luckily, Hamal can see ghosts, leaving Blue free to haunt him to his heart’s content. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this review copy in exchange for an honest review.īlue is having a hard time moving on.
