Disclosure - I backed this book on Kickstarter -
An amazing group of talented creators come together for an anthology with amazing art styles to tell fairy tales. The opening sets of stories just didn't feel like they were for me it wasn't until The Laughing Queen that I started to really get into the anthology. The pros inside the book were something I just passed over although I have intent to get to them I have other reading oblations so I just wanted to be done. I found the second half of the anthology had the majority of my favorite stories inside the book. Swan Lake, Dragon Slayers Not Permitted, Song Without End, and Dragon Princess in particular really stood out to me (as well as The Giant Who Dreamed Of Elves from the earlier half).
There is a solid enough amount of queer content although I don't think every kind of person will feel represented I think that there was a solid amount of the cute lady loving lady stories that I will want to revisit. This is going to be a great book for children of all kinds and it will also be great for a lot of adults who love great art styles and fun spins on classic tales.
