3.5/5 – super quick & cute gahhhh

Decent enough read for younger readers with great art. However, the story is pretty derivative and doesn't bring much new to the table. In the end, enjoyable, but forgettable.

Graphic novel fairy tale around freeing a trapped fairy leader. Set in a post earthquake 1906 San Francisco. Scenes alternate between reality and fairy reality. Would have been helpful to have a character list with images of main characters at start of book as it became somewhat confusing as to who was who. Enjoyed the blurb on the inspiration for the fairies at the end. Likely to appeal to both boys and girls as long as marketed more as spirits or sprites rather than “fairies” with the negative gender connotations. ARC provided by Netgalley

3.5 stars. Interesting and well thought out story, and super cute art. I quite enjoyed this.
