Welcome to Litsy!

I absolutely enjoyed this!
I'm so much older than the inspired ages for this but it was a fun read especially as this book veers away from the usual hero arc and makes light of other fantasy tropes in a way that lets a younger sister take the lead and be a hero as her older brother just wants to go to magic school.
And with that cliffhanger, I need to know what happens to our brother and sister team now!

Loaned to me by a friend and a cute bedtime read. It was a neat take on some story elements, though I am not sure I am invested enough to continue on myself.

This review is 4 book 3: the melody kingdom

3⭐️ Chapter 2 has just begun and we have left the Ripple Kingdom for the Melody Kingdom full of music and fun. The story gets a little convoluted as they have to fly over a wall, but they can't, and to pass the wall they are sent on a side quest to stop an evil villain who has been stealing people from the village. It‘s all over the place. It‘s fun, but not up to the standard of the previous editions.

This was an interesting graphic novel. I say interesting because the main character is named Cucumber and his sister is Almond. They are bunnies. Cuco wants to go to school and Almond wants a life of adventure. But Cuco is the boy so he must go out to save his father and their lands from evil doers. But Almond...she persisted...and is a heroine and daredevil for all to enjoy.

This was a hard PAN for me. 👎 The cover art is what drew me in initially, with its old school comics/Japanese manga feel. The actual drawings inside the book kind of lost their luster for me. The story's concept seemed very unoriginal, while the actual storyline and character development came across extremely hokey and borderline awkward. I kind of felt like the author was trying too hard to be funny or cute, yet was just missing the mark. 😶
