I've been recommended at least seven different times to read this series. I don't mind getting recommendations especially if they lead to me finding something good to read.

Book: Monstress volume #1: Awakening by Marjorie Liu with illustrations by Sana Takeda

Publication: July 19, 2016

Description:

Set in an alternate matriarchal 1900's Asia, in a richly imagined world of art deco-inflected steam punk, MONSTRESS tells the story of a teenage girl who is struggling to survive the trauma of war, and who shares a mysterious psychic link with a monster of tremendous power, a connection that will transform them both and make them the target of both human and otherworldly powers.
