The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

Jeremy Brown, Katy Jakeway, Eleanor Mererid, Libby Reed and David Shelby’s environmentally themed superhero graphic novel for children aged 9+ (the second in a series) is a worthy but dull read. The characters are under-developed, the themes treated like anvils and the storyline too predictable. Also the artwork is blocky and I confused Alma and Katelyn at times while the action was difficult to follow such that I won’t be reading on.

THE RENEGADES DEFENDERS OF THE PLANET VOLUME 2 - FLAMES OF AMAZONIA was released in the United Kingdom on 6th May 2021. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
