I love the artistic choices and how they informed the overall storytelling structure. The main love story was moving and the main characters were loveable. An enjoyable read overall.

Lost place in book and then couldn't remember where I was and was reading on Scribd which wasn't ideal

And they will say, that was a story about Love.
3.5 stars, rounded up. Eccentric, heartfelt, and bizarrely wonderful in its narration and soul, The One Hundred Nights of Hero is an experience unto itself to read. Each little story is enjoyable and charmingly illustrated.

Greenberg, oh darling Isabel Greenberg. Your brain is a strange and mystical place and I would love to visit there. I love the art, I love the nested stories, I love the feminist fairy tale genre altogether.
Enjoy this giant beauty on your lap with a giant cup of tea because you'll want something warm to grasp.

The One Hundred Nights of Hero is a fun take on the Scheherazade-type story, in graphic novel form. I quite enjoyed the art, though a few of the female characters who were mentioned very briefly aren't very distinguishable from other female characters who are mentioned briefly (which is really kind of ironic, given the strong feminist bent of the story).
It's not terribly original, but it works, and I enjoyed reading it. I did find the lettering and colouring a little distracting at times: it's all very deliberately quirky and stylised, and sometimes it's difficult for me then to know where I'm supposed to be following the panels, or to make out the text.
This feels like I'm damning it with faint praise, but I enjoyed myself reading it, and I'd happily give it as a gift or recommend it to people. It just didn't completely blow me away the way it did some others.
