“The Devil Cat & The Angel Cat – Trixie’s Stranger: A Moral of the Story Collection” By Olivia Zelo Review

Moral of the story from the world of Trixie, where the Devil Cat and the Angel cat visit her and make her take decisions, where her decisions teach her life lessons and morals. This time she learns what happens when she trusts a Stranger

This comic book aims to deliver moral-driven tales through the adventures of its feline protagonists, but unfortunately, it misses the mark with a lot. This comic book has a promising concept but the collection struggles with several critical aspects. But of course I will explain everything in this review so if you are interested so keep reading this review.

The premise of this comic book revolves around Trixie, a cat who encounters both devilish and angelic influences, setting the stage for stories that explore moral lessons. While the idea of using anthropomorphic animals to convey ethical dilemmas is intriguing, the execution falls flat, failing to engage me or impart meaningful insights.

One of the main issues with comic book in my option is the lack of character development. Trixie, the central figure, is not given enough depth or personality to make her relatable or memorable. Her interactions with the devil and angel cats lack nuance, reducing these characters to mere symbols rather than fully realized individuals. This absence of character depth makes it challenging for me personally to care about their journeys or learn from their experiences.

The plot lines in this comic book are very simplistic and predictable, often relying on clichéd scenarios without offering fresh perspectives or twists. The moral lessons are presented in a heavy-handed manner, lacking the subtlety and creativity needed to provoke thought or reflection. This straightforward approach might work for very young readers, but it leaves older readers as myself unsatisfied.

At the same time the pacing in this comic book is very inconsistent. Some stories are rushed, with moral conclusions reached too abruptly, while others drag on without adding significant value to the overarching narrative. This imbalance disrupts the flow of the collection, making it difficult to maintain interest.

The writing style in this comic book also poses challenges. The prose is often repetitive and lacks the vivid descriptions necessary to bring the settings and characters to life. Dialogue between characters is stilted and unnatural, failing to capture the attention or convey the intended emotional impact.

The artwork in this comic book if present, might have added visual interest, but without them, the stories rely solely on the text to convey their messages. This places even more importance on the quality of the writing, which unfortunately does not rise to the occasion.

I Give This Book 1 / 5
