It was nice to see more of Mal and Molly and their relationship in this story. However, the art really wasn't my favorite and the ending was too rushed.

Technically a prequel to the Lumberjanes graphic novel series, this slim story about Molly and Mal is cute but not really crucial or groundbreaking. While trying to complete an orienteering outing, Molly starts to get self-conscious and unsure of her relationship with Mal. She doesn't want the other campers (all female) to get weirded out by their relationship. Maybe weirded out isn't the right word, but she doesn't want to change the group dynamic. Everyone is pretty progressive and cool in their all girl camp. While orienteering, the compass starts acting up and campers start disappearing, suddenly their relationship isn't the only thing at stake. An alright addition to the series. Not very strong, but not bad either.

Part of the Lumberjanes 'verse. I, of course, enjoyed the characters and the overall storyline with the robot butlers. Because: robot butlers.
The illustrations were great but I am confused on the stylistic choice to keep the palette so neutral. To each their own.
I will still never get over the "Holy Audre Lordes!" just because it seems kitschy.
This volume included an excerpt from the original "Beware the Kitten Holy" and the illustrations are sooooooo childish!! Story, as always, is great. :)
