Northranger: A Modern Graphic Novel Retelling of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey

I loved this story! It shows real issues in the world including misogyny, racism, and homophobia, and the story is very well written and the art is so easy to look at, I definitely recommend

Two lovable and whole some main characters and so many true and genuine issues faced. This comic is a wonderful story that brings such realistic struggles. Excellent art style and great flow overall. Not only do we see a young romance bloom in such a warm way but we also see so many elements of mystery and just a few touches of heartbreak that create such a perfect story. There’s just the perfect blend of mystery, minor horror, and drama to even out the romance factor. The only real complaint that could be justified is that the story’s a bit too short and deserves to be continued.

I'm honestly not sure what to say about it. I think the romance was believable and the author achieved what they were going for. I think it would be great for teens just wanting to find a nice graphic novel to read.

I loved this book. I related to the characters experiences and as the author promised, he handled the tough moments dealing with racism, homophobia, and misogyny very tactfully and effectively. I hope to see more of Cade and Henry in the near future, and maybe, hopefully in an adaptation in a tv series.

This book arrived very quickly, but there’s water damage. The tops of the first 90 pages are warped, and some are discolored. I was planning to donate it when I’m finished reading it, but I work in a library and we would not circulate a book in this condition. It was well packaged and I picked it up within an hour of it being dropped at my front door. There’s no rain today. It was put into the package like this. Displeased.

Very cute story yet so deep. If a show gets really wild I have to pause and mentally prepare myself for the juicy plot that’s about to unfold. This did it for me, if a show or a story can do that to me it’s definitely 10/10. They didn’t pull any punches, any can happen in this story. So many twists and turns.

Exactly as the title says. It's a cute book! Well written, and clever. The characters are surprisingly complex for the length of the story. Very enjoyable.

Have you noticed that good art can make us really uncomfortable? Take a supposedly light piece of entertainment like NORTHRANGER, a queer YA gothic romance graphic novel that transplants Jane Austen's NORTHANGER ABBEY (1817) to present-day rural Texas. The plot is pure hokum -- a wealthy, secretive family, a gloomy ranch house, rumors of mysterious deaths and disappearances -- but the emotions are raw, and all too real. Racism, homophobia, self-loathing, and lying to yourself about your own feelings: all that gets woven into the slow burn romance of star-crossed lovers Cade Muñoz and Henry Tyler, teens who have to figure out how to live their own lives, not the lives their families expect of them.Unlike our young leads, I wasn't raised in a rural, religious community where queer people weren't supposed to exist, but even my relatively advantageous upbringing was no walk in the park for a gay kid. Rey Terciero and Bre Indigo -- a queer Latinx writer and a queer black artist -- depict that painful teenage emotional territory realistically, but without self-pity; the reader isn't forced to wallow in it. As in real life, things get better.I liked the simple, sepia-toned coloring; it lends an "old movie" vibe to the expressive artwork (Austen's gothic novel-obsessed heroine is now a shy Latinx boy obsessed with classic horror movies). The story takes its time to get where it's going, but never drags; we get to know these characters well, and to know Cade and Henry is to love them, for all their flaws.

Lovely story! Art style was nice. Story was gripping! Can we have this as a series?!?
