Rot & Ruin by Jonathan Maberry and I Am Not a Serial Killer by Dan Wells are also among the YA titles that making their way onto Webtoon though I’ll admit, I’ve never heard of either title prior to their web comic incarnations. From what I’ve seen from the book community on Twitter (which is, admittedly, limited to the feed I’ve curated for myself, so a little biased), these comics are being well-received by readers of the source material as well as those who haven’t read the original books but would like to delve into their worlds. BUT IT COULD HAPPEN!Īs I briefly mentioned before, The Wrath and the Dawn is the latest in a string of young adult novels to be adapted into comics on Webtoon – other notable titles being the heart-wrenching historical fiction, The Weight of Our Sky by Hanna Alkaf and the queer, magical, dystopian sci-fi The Fever King by Victoria Lee. In fact, I’m so good at ignoring new chapters that I have about a year’s worth of updates to get through for some of my subscriptions! However, with the recent trend of young adult novels getting Webtoon adaptations, I see myself being on the app a lot more and dare I say, even reading every now and then. I’ve had the Webtoon app on my phone forever and it was just one of those apps that I’d get notifications for new chapters that I’d promptly dismiss and ignore. Now I’ll confess – I’m not the most avid web comic reader. You know those comfort books that you know you can always return to? This is one of those for me. And in that time, I read it more than once. The kind of favorite that made it the only book I could read for the last month as I slogged through a horrible reading slump. This is one of my favorite books and I’m beyond excited to read the webtoon! “How favorite?” you might ask. I’ve been summoned back to my blog from beyond the grave by the launch of the Webtoon adaptation of The Wrath and the Dawn by Renée Ahdieh.
