Castle Waiting, Vol. 1 by Linda Medley

4.0

---

this is a funny little (actually, many pages, but very quick) comic. I was honestly sort of bemused at how low the stakes were, how it was more a slice-of-life, gentle, sweet little medieval/fantasy fantasia. It does of course take some dramatic stakes (Women have to escape from a large number of bad situations) but all these difficulties are... not that difficult, and they sort of just arrive in a nice place where everyone does the best they can. It was surprisingly different from the usual climax-to-climax to terrifying reversal situation I'm now used to. I liked that.
