Sadly Never After by Skottie Young

This is A fun addition to the series. More specifically it is taking the plot twist of the previous issue and following that thread to new adventures. It is a satisfying story and a clear departure from previous norms.

Well that's done. Fairyland overall was a fantastic story of the deceptions, magic, humour and fun. However, I feel like volume four was a little underwhelming, perhaps this series should have only been two or three volumes. In terms of the ending, none of the questions I had regarding the plot, in particularly why no one wanted Gert to leave were answered. The end is also an accurate reflection of the title and while abrupt in some ways very fitting. Will we see more of Fairyland? Never say never but I think it's unlikely that there will be more of Gert's storyline. Her goals were simplistic, return home, which in the end resulted in being the downfall of this series. It forced the characters to stay stuck in one story arch and rarely ever deviate from it. Volume 1 is still overall my favourite and a truly fantastic graphic novel to read.

Probably my least favorite of the series, but still a lot of fun. Gertrude wasn't in about half of it so that may have been why I didn't like it as much. The end seemed kind of rushed too.

Issue 16 - Read 2/27/18 - I love every issue of I Hate Fairyland. This one made me reeeeeeeeally sad though.

Issue 17 - Read 4/19/18 - Gert wasn't in this issue and I don't know how I feel about that. Dat ending tho.

Issue 18 - Read 4/19/18 - Still no Gert. But I love Duncan Dragon. Also THAT END AGAIN!!!

Issue 19 - Read 6/21/18 - Not the most exciting issue, but I will always love every issue. Still love me some Duncan Dragon and I'm excited for the epic battle.

Issue 20 - Read 7/31/18 - The ending did feel a little rushed, but I'm glad at least it all wrapped up! I have loooooved this series so much. I've loved the art, the story, the characters. I do think it could have gotten old after a while, so I do like the idea of quitting while you're ahead. This has been such a fun and awesome series, and I'm really glad I read it! Will definitely be looking out for more from Skottie Young in the future.
