Reads like a gentler version of Belladonna of Sadness, and I, for one, am here for it.

Something got lost in the translation.
I do like the illustrations though.

Graphic novel che ha il sapore di una fiaba dei vecchi tempi con la classica morale di "stai attento a cosa desideri". Per questo motivo potrebbe sembrare poco originale, ma come sotto effetto di un incantesimo ti tiene incollato fino all'ultima pagina per la curiosità di scoprire il destino della protagonista.
La versione italiana pubblicata da BAO Publishing è stata stampata in un bellissimo volume cartonato in bianco e nero con dettagli color oro, che accentuano ancora di più i tratti "vintage" della storia, ma che purtroppo danno fastidio alla mia vista, così ho letto la versione inglese a colori, che insieme ai disegni ho trovato davvero deliziosi.

Edgy classic-style fairytale, featuring a girl who is sad that she is ugly.
The most fascinating thing about this story, to me, was that the faerie wish-granter doesn't give her beauty itself, but the perception of being more beautiful than any other woman.
This becomes problematic, as you might guess.
I loved watching the choices of the creators here - panel to panel, Coddie would switch from her original "ugly" form to the more aesthetically pleasing version, depending on the gaze of that panel.
It was a very readable, riveting story - in keeping with the team's earlier work, [b: Miss Don't Touch Me|6136798|Miss Don't Touch Me, Vol. 1|Hubert|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328754957s/6136798.jpg|6315495]. Thought-provoking. And a little disturbing.
