All Princesses Die Before Dawn by Quentin Zuttion
4.0
emotional hopeful inspiring fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The story tells (a part of) the lovestories inside a family: 8-year old Lulu is struggling with his feelings for his best friend, his teenage sister Cam has a secret (older) boyfriend and their mom & dad have some issues of their own. 

I really liked this graphic novel! As this story is set in the late 90’s it’s pretty progressive, and I liked how inclusive this story was. Some of the topics it handles are marital problems, teenage problems, sexuality doubts, even gender identification doubts are hinted at. 

It wasn’t really a happy story, but the ending is very hopeful. 
I really liked all the characters. Even though the novel is quite short, we get a good insight in their personalities and their relationships to eachother. 
I would’ve liked it to be a bit longer though, but maybe that’s just me wanting more of this story. 

The drawings were also absolutely beautiful! 
It’s also a very quick read, so I definitely recommend this graphic novel!
