Thank you Net Galley and TKO Presents for an ARC of Sara by Garth Ennis. As a fan of historical fiction and a new fan of the author, I really enjoyed this graphic novel. Sara is one member of an all-female Russian sniper unit fighting the Nazis in 1942. Sara is their most successful sniper and the Nazis send their best to take her out. The writing and illustration style blend well to create a story that propels you to the end. This was a brutal story of the devastating effects of war and highlighting the role of the Russian women who were vital to taking out Nazis on the Eastern Front. I liked that the relationships of this women sniper group were explored but not exploited. This reminded by of Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn which is about a female Russian spy named Mila. I will be looking forward to reading more of Garth Ennis!

Sara is a gripping introduction to Garth Ennis, or revisit for long-time readers. A harrowing story with detailed art.
