The comic was very cute and fun, and the characters enjoyable. It was hard to follow along chronologically, events just kind of fell onto the narrative, rather then knitting into it.
But it was overall enjoyable and very silly.

Yes!!! We love to see Dracoslava and the gang in a real, publishing house published graphic novel! I love McGrane’s sense of humor and the antics her characters get are always entertaining and fun.

McGrane is not quite as successful at long form comics as I was hoping. It reached for some real meaningful themes about surviving and thriving after abuse but it didn't quite stick the landing. I still love the vampire children and would read more comics about them in future but this lacked the poignancy of some of the short comics I.e.

I’m obsessed with Dragoslava.

This was SO cute and charming. The illustrations were simple but in a fun and easy to read way. Drago uses they/them pronouns with no explanation or questioning which was so refreshing. Unfortunately, I thought the plot was a little lacklustre and the flashbacks didn’t have smooth transitions.

I really enjoyed this but I wish there had just been a little more to the story!

Suuuuper charming book that made me giggle and laugh out loud many times. The main cast of 3 lil vamps are simply adorable and extremely funny in their expressions. The art is just a treat. Fun shenanigans and adventures with magic. 
They/them main character.
