Thank you to Oni Press and Netgalley for a copy of this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Absolute 5 stars - I have found a new graphic story to follow now! This was Vol 1 of the first 25 episodes, and more are out and available. Best believe I’ll be following this story enthusiastically from now on!

First off, I love the art style that this is drawn in - it’s vivid and sharp and it captures my attention, very pleasing to look at and read at the same time. The dialogue within the graphic novel is also easy to follow and the imagery gives a sense of where we are without needing too many descriptors - the story is easy to follow and fun to follow in this format! And I LOVE our two main characters Kyro and Clove - the secrets, the intrigue and the slow burn are all big interests of mine. Their upfront personalities are also presented as being very different though deep down you can tell there are similarities. The other characters have their own relationships and complexities, which just ties into the richness of the story.

In this volume, volume 1, we aren’t taken too many places beyond the castle walls once Clove settles there, but the series does expand. We don’t yet know too much lore or worldbuilding but that also builds within the story and ties into Clove’s arc in the long term. So while I long for more of the world, I also know its coming later in the series.

Overall I *really* enjoyed this graphic novel. I will be continuing the series and recommending it to readers who would love this style of story!

Intriguing, captivating and magical, I'm such a huge fan of SubZero.
I've been following this comic on Webtoon for the past 4 years and I was so excited to see it finally get published - now it can claim it's place of honor on my shelf!

With wonderful characters, great plot, and full of twists, turns and secrets, Clove and Kyro's epic story will take you an a whirlwind of an adventure, through political plotting, war, romance and of course, dragon magic. Stick around, this is about to get interesting!

I'm honestly thorn between 3 and 4 stars because I see the potential the story has and the art is pretty, I would love to read the next volume, but this one was a bit overwhelming. By overwhelming I mean there were so many text bubbles it was hard to keep up. They were weirdly placed, there was too much text at times and it felt like we were mostly told than shown what was going on. I'm not a fan of the love triangle as well, if I'm being honest. But I'm looking forward to seeing how Kyro and Cloves's relationship develops further and how all the court drama unfolds.

I've already been a fan of this series when I found it on Webtoons and it's going to be all praises from me! From the story to the illustrations, absolutely beautiful. I'm so excited that I'll be able to add this to my shelf so I can stare at this beaut all day. And it's just better for my eyes, I can't be reading from my screen all day ;-)

Rival dragon clans, slow burn romance, I'm here for all of it!

This is mostly my fault since I didn’t bother to read the description before reading, but this one really wasn’t for me.
My first impression of the story was, ‘Oh, so this is basically Twilight but with dragons instead of vampires’. And honestly, after reading the whole book, my opinion hasn’t changed. Clove is an okay character. I appreciate that she’s not easily swayed by good looks and a ‘tragic past’. But I did think the love triangle between her, and ‘Headband’ is really unnecessary and honestly just annoying. Please, I beg you comic writers, stop coming up with red flag boys and then making the girl pick the flashier of the two. It’s really shallow and honestly overdone and annoying.
Kyro gave a bad impression in the beginning. I’m still not sure if I’ll ever like him. He starts off a jerk who threatens the FL and then suddenly turns into a half-way decent person? I don’t know, I found his sudden character switch jarring and a little unbelievable. I think the only person I really liked in the story was the prince’s sister. She seemed clever and caring, and just trying to make things right.
On the other hand, the art is beautiful. Junepurrr is a talented artists and I really enjoyed the Chinese clothing and culture. (Kyro’s outfit made me think of Zuko from ATLA which made me laugh).
It’s by no means a terrible story. I am really interested to know more about why the war started in the first place and why Clove is trying so hard to suppress her abilities. But the romance is a huge turn-off for me so I doubt I’ll finish the series.

i loved sub zero! i already read it when it started coming out on webtoon and i was so excited to see it getting published

Thank you to Oni Press and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this graphic novel. This is an intriguing story with a lush world and interesting characters with shifting being more commonplace. However, I think it’s one of those that may seem very dense and dry with reading in one sitting. If I continue on with this story it may have to be more than one day with one volume. Because of these points, I have to give this a 4 out of 5 stars

This was amazing. I have started the Webtoon now because of reading this, and can't wait to buy my own copy!

This was one of the most addicting stories I read this year, the angst was too much! I kept looking forward to the interaction between the main two characters and I can't wait to continue with one! I recommend it!

Thank you to Netgalley for Providing me with an ARC of this story.
SPOILERS TO FOLLOW

I DEVOURED this story on Webtoon when it was first released but than after a point I stopped logging on so much and then I couldn't catch up. I was really excited when I saw that a physical graphic novel was being put together because I truly did enjoy the story. I remember what I read of the story really well so all of this was familiar to me. I love Clove and Kyro so much. They were my favorite ship on Webtoon when I was reading it so religiously. The lore of the dragon marks and the political drama that's happening behind the scenes was fun to read about again. I felt like the timeline of events was sped up a bit or that scenes were missing but this is an ARC so I expected that. I can't wait to read more of this!!

Thank you NetGalley and Oni press for this arc

-Enemies to lovers
-Arranged Marriage
-Royals
I read this in one sitting because it's such a good story! It has a lot of plot twists, and you’re always entertained by every character. Being able to reread the dynamics, characters, and story reminded me how much I love SubZero.

I discovered SubZero on WEBTOON a few years ago when reading Lore Olympus and let me tell you within the first two or three chapters I was hocked and the book is the exact same. For all my readers out there who adore enemies to lovers SubZero is a perfect foray into graphic novels if you haven’t tried them yet. I’m so excited to finally see this being published in a physical format and I can’t wait to pick up my copy!

This was one of my favorites on Webtoons back in 2019, before I was a bookseller. Seeing it be adapted into a graphic novel makes me so happy and I'm excited to be back in the world again! I love the illustration style and the topics the novel discusses!

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. Thank you. <3

I have to admit thtis isn't my typical ... trope / genre / style. BUT it was a quick, entertaining read.
id' definitely check out others by this author.

Each remaining descendant of the cerulean dragon line and the crimson dragon line will be forced to marry to prevent an ongoing brutal war between their people. However, that means they are forced to marry their sworn enemies. Princess Clove hasn't been giving in to her dragon form and might be concealing a tremendous amount of hidden power while the crimson dragon heir Prince Kyro might not notice it seems his dragon counterpart does. Alliances have yet to be formed but are already being tested in this volume and I am excited to see where both heirs are headed together and apart

Expect beautiful dangerous dragons!
Expect bad powerful characters!
Expect good artstyle!

But no, please don’t expect that enemies to lovers. Because you will get disappointed if you are expecting that from the first volume itself!

How strong is a king or a father if he has to pawn his daughter to save grace or the kingdom?

Yes, the ultimate sacrifice is to be the young weak daughter who has to marry the enemy monster.

Yes, expect strong talks but no action in this volume.

Hope there’s romance, action and more character & plot development in the upcoming volumes.

Thank you, Oni Press, for the ARC.

The art is lovely, and I enjoyed the storyline, though it felt very familiar. I am curious to see where this goes. I'll be checking it out on Webtoons while I wait for the next physical edition.

I don't have a lot to say one way or another, though, so I feel kind of bad this is my review for it.

Thanks to Net Galley and Oni Press for providing a free ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I had actually started reading SubZero on Webtoons about a year or two (maybe) ago, but dropped off mostly because of phone space (of all the silly reasons). I loved the story--a classic enemies to lovers with a healthy dash of arranged marriage, two of my fave tropes--and the art was always very beautiful. I was thrilled to see this was getting a print release, and as I have fallen very behind on the story, I can't wait to catch up with the next several volumes. Highly recommend this, even though I feel like they did stop Vol. 1 here a bit earlier than all the really exciting things I remember happening in this Webtoon. The bonus pages in the back were also a very fun addition.

I discovered SubZero randomly on Instagram a while back and it was my first ever Webtoon and it had me hooked from the first section. I love the absolutely gorgeous art work that Junepurr does, and when I saw it was getting published I ran to pre order it. This whole series will be on my shelf, and stay front and center.

I love how you get to see both POV of Clove and Kyro and the push / pull relationship they have with each other. Different kingdoms coming together to end a war through marriage with dragons mixed in, I mean come on sign me up. The character growth and world building are on point, including the side characters growth throughout the stories.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Review:

I loved this! I’ve read it as a webcomic but haven't reread the beginning in a while. I loved Clove. She takes no one's crap and is headstrong. I enjoy Kharis so much. She’s fun and I can't wait for more of her. I enjoyed Kyro, though he is a bit arrogant, so far anyway. He’s got a big ego, but I think he is kind. I do feel like there is more to each of the characters in this story, especially Clove and Kyro, and I can't wait to find out more about them. The art is beautiful, each character is unique and I love the dragons, they are well done. I also love the enemies to lovers, who also are trying to form an alliance and create peace for their people. I can't wait to see how it goes. This was a beautiful read.
