*I received an ARC via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thanks for the free graphic novel*
Jane Austen meets Alice in Wonderland meets Fight Club meets Victorianism.
Artemisia is the product of colonisation, her father supposedly raped a Native somewhere and took the baby girl home with him. Now she is to be married off to a very old man, but when she steps to a mirror into the fairy realm, everything changes. She has to evolve to come back to the human world and fight the evil fairy queen that took her place. Artemisia also meets a morally dubios cat-like guide and the melancholic, unloved son of the evil fairy queen. (If this ever made into a movie, can we please have Tom Hiddleston for that? It would be perfect.)
Very gory, fast-paced, well-drawn and entertaining. I felt thoroughly entertained despite the lack of world-building. Especially the depiction of fairies as cunning, dangerous and evil is refreshing. It's not all flowers and sweet wine in Fairy!
4,5 Stars
