The book also is sometimes a bit funny because they usually outwit their enemies by tricking them. Overall, I like this book because it is a book about adventure and gets exciting a lot of times. The two always go exploring the city which sometimes gets them into trouble but also sometimes gets them caught in an adventure. While Rat, on the other side, always is hungry and is only a native of the nameless city.

Kai is born Dao, he is a member of the newest nation, and wants to sleep. The Nameless City is an amazing graphic novel about two children called Kai and Rat.

The use of choppy uneven outlines mixed with sharper, finer details and Bellaire’s bright colors make this a fun read that will be enjoyed by readers of all ages. Hicks’s art has a feel reminiscent of the Avatar: The Last Airbender series. She clearly isn’t a fan of the Dao (or perhaps any of the other previous non-Named inhabitants), but she finds herself beginning to trust Kai and relishes being able to teach him how to navigate the streets of the City. Rat, on the other hand, is simultaneously fighting to stay alive and struggling with where her loyalties lie. Kai’s character development focuses quite a bit on the notion that he is not like the rest of the Dao: he wants to forge his own path and find his own place in this new world after deciding to leave his homeland. The friendship between Kaidu and Rat is somewhat of an anomaly, but Kai seems to have convinced the young orphan that he also has a vested interest in the city and that he also cares what happens to its inhabitants. When we first meet Kaidu and Rat, their town is experiencing a definite tension in the wake of 30 years of harmony, not to mention the existing tension between the Named, the Dao, and the other nations that have previously occupied the city. It is an old world that was built up through a cycle of peace and conflicts that is the hallmark in most any genre. Why I finished it: What really drew me into the story was the mythos that Hicks has incorporated into this world. Why I picked it up: This is another book that has been in my ‘To Be Read’ stack for a while. He meets Rat while out wandering the streets alone and though the two come from very different backgrounds, they grow to become friends. Though his people, the Dao, have ruled the city for the last 30 years, there is still tension and unease between themselves and the Named (the residents of the city).
