As a fan of the webcomic I was so excited to read this published book. Others have mentioned the quickness of the comic as being a negative. I could not disagree more. I felt that quickness is what drew me in and kept me reading. It was a fun book with queer representation, mermaids, and women empowerment. I highly recommend this book and hope you will check it out. In addition, I cannot get enough of this art style! A++++

Although not transparent here it's definitely an exciting book that was part of a series. The characters were well-drawn and really drew me into the story, retelling classic fairytales I will defiantly recommend this read for those whom enjoy adult graphic novels

I got this on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!

Okay, so I have to be honest that I never read Volume 1 of this so some of the context was lost to me (although I managed to fill in the gaps for the most part).

Loved the queer rep, and the mermaid stuff, but overall felt the story was moving too quickly from moment to moment, so what happened actually didn't have any time to make an impact. Really liked that they fucked that guy over tho, and that it's overall very "go women", and that the Princess got to live a good, lesbian, pirate life with her mermaid girlfriend. If it has spent more time letting things become impactful, I would have given it a 3 of 3.5, but as of now its a stong 2. (mostly from the queer stuff and the art ngl).

Thank you netGalley for letting me review this book.

First things first, the art style is really pretty and cute, I really did liked it.

As for the story, I think it was kind of rushed and hope it was a little bit slower so the points impact would have been a lot more better, in my opinion.

Overall, this was an okay read.

I loved the art style of this book. It is absolutely stunning to say the least. I felt at the end that I needed more. I need more character development, plot, just more everything. I LOVED the characters and the concept, but it truly needed just a bit more storytelling. Truly hoping there will be more about these characters and their stories.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Fox & Willow by Irma Aimo Ahmed and Allison Pang is an adult fantasy graphic novel full of pirates and monsters. The story revolves around Willow and Fox, who are currently escorting Princess Nuala on a ship to another kingdom. According to the description, when a princess's mistress, "a barefoot woman without a tongue appears, the bonds of friendship between the two ladies grows..."

Overall, Fox & Willow is an adult fantasy graphic novel that will appeal to fans of True Blood or The Parasol Protectorate manga. One highlight of this book is the artwork. The characters were well-drawn and really drew me into the story. I took off 2 stars, because I wasn't comfortable with the amount of sexual content. Although there wasn't any nudity, this was definitely a more "adult" book. If you're intrigued by the description, you can check out this book when it comes out in March!

A short, nice retelling of a classic fairy tale, intertwined with an original set of characters and stories. I loved it and cant wait to see what their future holds!

I liked the gist of the plot. I enjoyed the characters abs seeing them develop a little more. With their personal struggles between duty and love. I am unsure if this is the first book or the second book of a series. I hard a hard time understanding the plot in the beginning because the lack of context but that could be because this may be the second book of a series. But I had a hard time understanding the plot in the beginning. But overall enjoyed it.

I really liked the art style of the book; however, I was confused on what was happening. I feel like they could have more explanation or maybe even more words to the picture. Overall, it was a great book, and I had no issues, and it was a fast read!
