3.0

This graphic novel was based on an ancient Breton folktale. As far as folktales, it wasn’t bad. But I felt like something lacked because it was a graphic novel versus a normal novel that could have been elaborated upon. There are several panels that depicted sexual content, while not explicit it was there. And several mentions of death, and showing how the youngest daughter did that and why. 

Probably not a graphic novel I will read again, and will not be adding to my library. I checked this out from my local library.

This graphic novel was an absolutely stunning fantasy stand-alone with beautiful illustrations.

 It had it all - family relationships and the difficulties they bring, discussion of wealth and poverty, magic, royal intrigue, murder, and of course sea monsters 🌊

This was so layered and the art is everything.
