Middle grade graphic novel with an interesting twist on the Arthurian legends. Good characters and plot.

I had issues with reading this one due to resolution of the scans. However, I sloshed through it and enjoyed what I could see. The illustrations were really pretty, and I think I would have enjoyed reading this more if the scans were clearer!

I am eager to actually read this book; unfortunately the ARC is too low resolution to read the text at all and only available via the app. Isabel Greenberg's art looks like it is in classic form (though also it appears that the ARC I received is not a completed version of the art either).

unfortunately the arc is so grainy and low quality its impossible to read! from what i can see of the art style its lovely, and im very intrigued about reading it so hopefully the arc is upgraded, or otherwise i’ll be waiting for the release! :)

A creative and unique spin on the classic Arthurian tale with a feminist spin. Our main character here is the Young Hag instead of Arthur, and this story unfolds quite differently than the other Arthurian tales I've heard before. I think it was a really creative storyline. The art style is crude, in a seemingly intentional way, and just ends up fitting the story in an ironic way. The story also seemed to have a nice fast pace which I really enjoyed for this graphic novel. Overall it was just one of those easily digestible stories that grabs your attention and you want to know how it ends.

I received an earc copy from Netgalley. The e-arc upload was unfortunately terrible quality so it was hard to get the full effect since some of it's blurry and hard to make out the words and the art was only in black and white but I still enjoyed it despite that.

I attempted to read about half of this on two different devices, and unfortunately the eArc is almost unreadable. The resolution is so terrible in the Shelf app, and there isn’t any other way to access it.

However, from what I DID read, this story was really fabulous and up my alley. I will wait til the published version comes out to read it in full because the print is making my head hurt, but I am giving this a high rating regardless as I don’t want to fault the title for this issue!

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for this eArc copy!

In classic Greenberg style, this is a take on an old story - in a totally fresh and original way. Set many years after the events of King Arthur's court, the story is told by people who lived it - in a time when their own lives have already become myth. It's rooted in the female perspective, and leans into the magic of the world. There are goblin markets, giant cats, lady knights and magical witches. I loved this. A great addition to the YA graphic novel canon by an incredible British talent.

sad to say that the advanced copy is almost unreadable. the text is not only small, but also in low resolution that make dizzy bc I need to squint so hard to read it. but I'm really intrigued to read it so maybe I'll wait for the published edition
