I was lucky enough to read Cyn by Ibrahim Moustafa this week, and I loved it. This was such a fun and fantastic story, and I need more!

Cyn is a science fiction western, and it leans hard into it. The story features a revenge tale by the eponymous character when she comes into the care of Meris and two young orphan girls.

It may not be for everyone, but I did like that we were dropped right into Cyn’s world, leaving her blood-soaked life behind and venturing into the unknown.

The art from Moustafa and the colors from Brad Simpson were terrific. This is a gorgeous book, and that absolutely elevated the story for me. The fight scenes were expertly crafted and made you feel every attack.

There is a fantastic line that Meris delivered to Cyn in her moment of doubt about who she used to be:

“We all used to be someone. It is who we choose to be now that matters most.”

That’s a lesson that we ask should take to heart. It reminds of a line from Luke Skywalker the Battlefront II campaign. When asked by Del Meeko what choices one has, Luke tells him “A choice to be better.” Keep stretching to be better.

I really liked this book. This was great. I’m actively seeking out the other book tied to this called Count. This is a cool universe. You should 100% check out this book.

You can pick up a copy of this book here.

Thank you Netgalley and Humanoids for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
