OVERVIEW:

Once upon a time, in a land of fairy tales, lived a girl and her grandmother, protected and secluded from the rest of the world.

REVIEW:

The art for this story is absolutely unique and well crafted. Each character has a look of their own while remaining a clear product of the world they inhabit. Beyond the art style, the author takes classical fantasy tales and melds them into individualized heartstrings, pulling you along as you navigate the unknown with the characters. Corliss and Wen's relationship are well constructed, and their friendship is believable and adorable. As Season 2 of the series wraps up, the anticipation of Season 3 is palatable. Check this story out today.
