I thought this was ok. 

Full breakdown below:
Spoiler 
Characters: 6/10
Not particularly likeable, but interesting enough versions of old storybook characters.

Atmosphere: 8/10
I'll use this category to rate the art, which I liked. Felt classic. 

Writing: 6/10
Eh, it was ok. 

Plot: 7/10
It was interesting. A few little clever moments. 

Intrigue: 5/10
I was invested enough to carry on, but not enough to continue the series.

Logic: 6/10
For as much as I could tell everyone behaved in character.

Entertainment: 3/10
Only vaguely enjoyed this. 


Overall rating: 5.86

Does what it says on the tin. Not bad, but in an era rich with urban fantasy, nothing especially unique, either.

I'll start this review with saying I am not normally a graphic novel reader, but this was a good one. It's definitely adult content for fairytales, so keep that in mind! It was a simple, overdone plot but getting to know the characters was fun. I'll most likely continue on reading the series since they are such quick reads. But I won't be jumping at it anytime soon. I'd rather focus my reading time on other books. I recommend this to any fantasy, fairytale fan.
