You know, I myself hate Fairyland. It was nice up until the crown was passed ahead and shit. Gertrude sucks bad, i spent all this time lamenting for Larry because yes, we do have some bosses that also act like a thirty year-old in a child's body. (Or even worse: a child in a thirty something's body)
And I was actually expecting Cloudia to shred the little bastard. Alas. Onward we go, I guess.

This was hilarious, I laughed out loud multiple times. I loved the not so happy-go-lucky take on getting sucked into a fairyland & essentially not being able to get out without a fight (or 7). I thoroughly enjoyed the sarcasm and the completely understandable terrible attitude towards all of the everything she went through on her journey to get out of a place she never asked to be. After 27 years there not aging & being stuck in the body of a child I think I would have much the same response... maybe I found this to be a little too relatable. The artwork was fantastic & wonderfully (horrifically?) detailed. If you’re a little deranged with a bit of a twisted sense of humor I think you’ll like this book.

This is gory with blood, bones and brains all over the place, but it’s done in a laid back and fun way. It’s over the top but not horrifying. The artwork and colors are fantastic. I enjoyed the used of terms like “hugger fluffer” and “muffin fluffin”, instead of real curse words. The story was a bit flat for me and Gertrude was a tad annoying. I liked her guide Larry more.

Adorably Violent. You'd think any childs dream would to be transplanted in a fairytale land of candy and mythical creatures but thats Fairyland isnt for everyone as Gert finds out right away! I cant wait until for the next volume of this twisted fairytale form Skottie Young!
