I have this pet peeve with graphic novels/comics that are mostly writing. I think it's lazy to use this format incorrectly and just have whole paragraphs of text. It takes away from the enjoyment of the story.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!

This is only part one of what I assume to be a series about Aristotle, but this first volume ends very abruptly. It was an interesting read. It not only shows the events of Aristotle's life and some major events in Greek climatization, but it also fully shows his philosophies. It was interesting reading the explanation of his philosophies and the explanation of the life of Greeks during those times. But my god, there was so much text. Many times I felt like I was reading a textbook, not a comic. In fact, multiple pages are just a page full of text with some small illustrations. It was just a bit of a headache to read since I expected it to be more like a comic than it actually is. The art style is fine. It reminds me of the educational comics you would read in high school or in an educational magazine. If you go into this knowing is HEAVILY text-based, then this is probably a very interesting read. But don't expect it to be a simple comic about Aristotle's life, because it very much is not.
