I've been reading the way longer than it takes to read a graphic novel. I scanned over the comments and seen I was not the only one having a hard time with this book. I also wanted to like this sooo much....but I don't. I've had a hard time following the story, I found myself trying to speed read just to finish it. I gave up shortly after switching to that method and added it as a DNF. This story just didn't give what needed to be gave. Damn it, Ginaaa!

The illustrations in this book are GORGEOUS! The story is interesting and I look forward to seeing where they go from here. My only real criticism is there were a few typos/misspellings that pulled me out of the story a couple times.

Another two stars for the art, because I can not tell a single reason anything happened in this book. I don't know why they fell in love, I don't know why sis is running from her daddy, I don't know where that Orc's daddy came from or why we was battling him. This is just pretty art and vibes. If anyone would like to tell me what this story is about, I'm all ears.

I anticipated this one so much and visited many bookstores/comic bookstores searching for it. I enjoyed it overall however it lacked the build up & background that many engaging & powerful comics have. That said- I definitely plan to read volume 2- I still see some potential in the plot.

Very confusing, in dialogue and in plot. The writing was very choppy and all over the place.

The visuals of this graphic novel are stunning. I enjoyed the story and the plot, but it was a bit too fast paced and confusing in areas.

I liked all the supernatural elements and the fact that the characters were of color. It was nice to see that representation.

I would recommend this novel to fans of fairies and graphic novels.
