The Sleeper and the Spindle by Neil Gaiman
5.0
Full Review:
5 Stars - I highly recommend if you enjoy fairy tale retellings, fantasy, or are looking for a change of pace.
When the dwarves learn that a sleeping spell is spreading across the kingdoms, and a rumor of a sleeping princess and a witch reach their ears they take the queen to investigate.
I loved this graphic novel. For one thing the art is gorgeous! Every picture is so detailed and stunning in black, white, and gold. The story instantly reminded me of a D&D adventure. Dwarves walk into a tavern, hear about a problem, and set off on a quest to save the kingdom. I liked that it was part quest, part fairy tale retelling, and as always Gaiman's writing is fantastic. Everything is so vividly imagined and described, which really brought the story to life. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking to spice up their reading.
Right After Reading:
I loved this retelling of Sleeping Beauty, such fun twists, turns, and additions. I quite liked how similar to a D&D adventure this felt. The illustrations are breathtaking.
