An interesting story but at times rather hard to follow

I wanted to like this more, but the story was confusing right off the bat and it took me awhile to get into it. I like the updating of traditional fairytale princess tropes, but this had too much going on--Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty have been replaced by imposters (witches), their memories erased so that they don't remember who they really are (but it takes a while for the reader to figure this out); there is a big tree that somehow connects to giving nightmares to children all over the world? King Oberon and the fairies are involved, and Belle and the Beast, AND the Little Mermaid...good grief! They were all in overlapping stories that were a little hard to follow. The art wasn't that great, and there were multiple typos and grammatical errors in the narration bubbles. "A" for effort but "C" for execution.

I love alternate retellings of fairytales and this one was absolutely fascinating to read. Though the format was a bit difficult to understand in the beginning, I got the hang of it half way through and thoroughly enjoyed the story. Can’t wait to get my hands on Volume II.

2.5 stars. It has potential, but the cast isn't very diverse compared to other fantasy titles I've read lately; the art is a bit over-processed but still really awkwardly rendered; the pacing is choppy. Still, there were some interesting enough ideas here that I'd look at the next volume.
