"To that point, Petrograd is meant to capture how it feels to wake up and realize you are (as we all are) living in history. Our actions have consequences–some small, some enormous. All of them impossible to predict with accuracy." - David R. Stone Petrograd, written by Philip Gelatt and illustrated by Tyler Crook, is exceptional. The writing is great. Gelatt takes a complex story and makes it a page-turner. I enjoyed how all parts of the story are represented: the British, the Russian aristocracy, and the Russian peasants. It also shows how unsettled every segment of society is. Crook's illustrations are rich in detail. Each face in a crowd is distinct. The locations are also very detailed. David R. Stone writes an explanation of events and how it relates to the graphic novel. I got so much more out of this graphic novel than had read a book of the events. I highly recommend Petrograd for the story and the illustrations and the world they create together. I received a copy of this book from Netgalley, and this is my honest review. #Petrograd #NetGalley #PhilipGelatt @MrTylerCrook
