The story does start off slow but overall I like it! The illustration is everything!!! It was beautifully done. I can’t wait for Vol 2:)
A political marriage with dragon shifters, in full colour! I can see this appealing to older teens, the characters were a little too juvenile for me to stay engaged.
Thank you to Oni Press for the eARC via NetGalley. Opinions are my own.
Political intrigue jumps out of the page as Clove submits to marriage to save her people. She is the heir of the Cerulean Dragon clan and she finds herself betrothed to a cut-throat warrior. Prince Kyro is the heir to the Crimson Dragon clan. There are at least two problems. Dragons are powerful and neither will back down, and there those that want this marriage of conviene to fail. Who in this battle to save a people will win and who will lose? I liked the visual interpretation of the conflicts between Clove and Kyro expressed in their dragons - real or imaginary I couldn’t really decide. Thank you to Oni Press and NetGalley for the comic ARC. The views expressed are all mine freely given.
I am extremely interested in seeing where this story will develop, I could not put this down.
The sacred dragons and the unity to stop the war, I am very interested to see how Clove & Kyros relationship develops.
The graphics are incredible and I can see the forced proximity, marriage of convenience is going to be great!
The world building is interesting and there's no info dumping, you find out bits and pieces as you go along which I liked but it felt a bit lacking at times. The plot is very engaging and the characters are intriguing.
The plot and characters were engaging with a bit of a love triangle/square thing going on. I'm not a huge fan of the MMC, he's borderline abusive so far but I'm guessing he has some tortured story that we'll learn about. The FMC is likable and I really want to know more about her and why she can't shift.
I did think some parts felt pretty rushed to the point that what was happening didn't really make sense, there wasn't a great flow at times.
The art is absolutely stunning. It is so captivating and really conveys the emotions of the characters, the beauty of the setting and the intensity of the action.
I'm looking forward to the next one!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sub Zero was so intriguing! The story hooked me from the start. Two clans coming together, enemies to possible lovers? Who knows yet. I’m so eager to find out what happens next I need the second volume!
The art work is beautiful and so detailed. The characters are stunning. Super easy to read and I couldn’t put it down.
If you love romance, fantasy and dragons, the is the manga for you✨
Clove is the last remaining heir of her Cerulean Dragon clan, fighting in a seemingly endless 300-year-war against the vast Crimson Empire. With no end to the war in sight, Clove agrees to leave her sheltered homeland in favor of a political marriage with the heir to the enemy Crimson Dragon clan, Prince Kyro.
Raised on the battlefields and feared by his rivals, the cutthroat prince is first to notice that Clove is hiding a dangerous secret she’s been working tirelessly to protect.
As tensions rise between these unlikely allies, the fragile peace brokered by their marriage is threatened by those who wish to continue the war. Now fighting in the world of her enemies and fighting a surprising attraction to Kyro, Clove discovers that achieving peace is far more dangerous than she could have ever imagined.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I do love dragons, but the plot kept me reading. I was interested to know what happened. The book had humorous scenes that I enjoyed. It overall was easy to follow and a fun fantasy plot. It does end on a cliffhanger so I am looking forward to reading the next volume.
Subzero is about the last remaining heir to the Cerulean Dragon clan, Princess Clove, who in the hopes of saving her people, agrees to marry the heir to the Crimson Dragon clan, Prince Kyro. The very Prince whose empire has been waging a war against her people for 300 years. Although I did enjoy reading this it felt very predictable. The tension between the two heirs didn’t last very long and neither did their animosity…. It felt like they both went from not trusting each other and only agreeing to the marriage for political reasons to then suddenly being allies amongst foe (aka Prince Kyro’s very own war leaders???) while also finding each other incredibly attractive like where is the build up? The slow burn??
Anyway while did enjoy reading this and I am interested in reading the upcoming volumes I rate this three stars!
I loved, loved, loved this. The art, the character, the politics of the world, the world-building, all of it was amazing. The art was stunning, and I loved how colorful it was. The cast of characters was unique, and I was invested in each other individual stories as well as the story that tied them all together. The fantasy aspect of this novel was so engaging and mixed with the politics of the different clans, which made a well-rounded fantasy world that kept me engaged the entire time. I love the connection between characters, and I can't wait to see what happens next; I was sitting on the edge of my seat the entire time reading this. And I still can't get over how good the art is.
Clove and Kyro are the heirs to the two clans founded by the azure and red dragons. The two clans have been warring for years, until it was decided for the two heirs to get married to stop the war. Neither Kyro nor Clove have feelings for each other—it seems they can barely stand being in the same place together. However, both of them want to protect their people so they are willing to go through the wedding. But some people don't want peace and will do everything they can to stop them.
I started this series on Webtoon, and I was so excited when I found out it was finally coming out in print as well. I love the story and how the relationship between Clove and Kyro develops. I can't wait for the second volume.
Thank you NetGalley and Oni Press for a digital ARC of this volume.
My daughter is a very high reader, and she has a huge passion for manga. The challenge with manga is finding stories that are appropriate for her. This story was pretty darn good for her, The main character was a strong female lead. I love that for her. Content was also pretty appropriate. There was some minor cursing.
Received an eArc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Subzero follows Clove, the princess and last living royal member of the Cerulean Clan, which has been at war with Crimson clan for hundreds of years. A chance to stop the bloodshed comes as Kyro, the heir to the Crimson Clan, needs a wife to gain his throne. However neither’s situation is as straightforward as it seems. Kyro’s kingdom is balancing precariously as the generals try to take more power and Clove’s family power isn’t as strong as people believe…
This volume was a fun start to a graphic novel series. The intrigue is building up and I am definitely left with questions that I am excited to get answers to. There is a love triangle which is adding to the drama. Overall, a fast and fun start to a new series.
“Subzero” is an exciting webcomic set in a frozen fantasy world. It's full of great art and interesting characters. The story keeps you wanting more with its mystery and romance. If you like fantasy and romance, you'll love it!
Thank you to Netgalley for a copy for an honest review
I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend and I can’t wait to read vol 2 🙂
Rating 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️
3.5
This graphic novel honestly has an interesting premise, but it feels like too was way too much talking and not enough doing. The main character Clove, is the heir and host to the Cerulean dragon. Her clan and dragon have been locked in a war for several hundred years with their enemies, the Crimson Dragon clan. In an effort to put an end to the war and ensure peace on both sides, she agrees to marry the heir and host of the Crimson Dragon, Kyro. Naturally, they butt heads and don't see eye to eye in the slightest. This story was very trope-heavy in my opinion. I'm not saying that's a negative, but it feels a little bland. I was surprised that there was more political intrigue than I originally assumed there would be. But aside from a lot of conversations, I feel like little to nothing happens in this volume I understand it's only the first volume, and they need to set up the longer plot arcs. But, at least something could be happening, you know?
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!
Absolutely enjoyed every bit of this book.
It is clear to me that I need to go on webtoon more often because they have some amazing gems! I am so excited to get more of this story, especially because it kept me on my toes and I really need to know more!
If you’re looking some tension, hidden secrets, and ancient dragons… look no further!
I really don't know how I feel about this book. But I also want to know what happens next. The artwork is decent. Very reminiscent of an online comic. And the storyline is a little predictable. But again, I still want to know what happens next..
First of all a big thank you to the author, the publishers and Netgalley for sending me a copy of this book to read and review.
I absolutely loved this. The artwork is beautiful and the storyline had me hooked. So much so that I’ve gone onto webtoon to catch up and keep up to date with the comic. I’m almost caught up already. I love Clove and Kyro😍🔥.
I absolutely adore SubZero! I was lucky to be a reader over on webtoons, so when i got this arc I squealed! I plan to buy this book physically and re read it when i have it in my hands!
I've been reading this webtoon since it came out, but it was fun to go back and see where it all started. The story takes place in a rich fantasy world with characters that really grab you. The art is beautiful, and the story can range from funny and sexy to heartbreaking; sometimes in the span of one chapter. Perfect for fans of romantasy.
