Pandemonium by Cassandra Diaz, Chris Wooding
3.0
2.5 stars, rounded up
This was fine. The art was just fine (sort of felt like it was ripped out of a 'How to Draw Manga' book). The story itself was fine. Boy looks like the prince, prince is missing, boy replaces prince and ends up being a better prince than him despite having absolutely no training and based purely on him being a better person. Pretty tropey. It's also very young and very goofy. Don't expect any serious commentary on anything, really. So in that regard it's light and fun. This was also clearly intended to be a volume one and left basically the entire plot hanging so there's really no resolution or closure at all and it does suffer for that. Ultimately kind of forgettable (which might be why it never got a sequel).
