Did just watch an actual murder happen in this one, but still quality work

Where is #3?


What can I say , the art is super cute and I loved the extra bits in the end, but it’s a shame to not have a full story in one or two volumes, because it just feels like a drag the more books you add in an adventure 
adventurous funny lighthearted

The story continues! We meet a couple new characters who are at times cute and infuriating, and the book has, again, a wealth of bonus content at the back. 

Interesting hiccups being...the Nightmare Knight is actually never truly defeated, he's resurrected every 5,000 years...and the little we know about the Nightmare Knight from his appearances, he seems...morally grey? At least not as cartoonishly evil as Cordelia.

Still fun but not quite as inspired as the first book.

This was the sweet continuation of Cucumber and Almond's "Quest" to save the kingdoms. Again, I adored the artwork, quirky/tongue-in-cheek ideas, and epic world-building. It is absolutely so much fun to read the story, the character cards, the Q&A, and "extra footage" all rolled into one book. I am SO looking forward to the next in the series!

Cucumber Quest continues! Now that Queen Cordelia has successfully freed the nightmare knight, Cucumber, Almond, and Sir Carrot have to find Saturday (a character) to get back the Dream Sword. But first they have to defeat Splashmaster the first of the Nighmare Knights evil Servants. With the help of their new friend Princess Nautilus, and their ever growing skills, that might stand a chance!
