Thank you NetGalley and Mad Cave Studios for allowing me to read an e-arc of this book.
It was pretty good. The art style and the characters: loved it. The story wasn’t bad too. I really liked it. But I think it’s too short. I mean there are only 160 pages, and it’s pretty short to fit a whole high fantasy story.
The story is good, but can feel a bit rush.
But still not a bad book.

“You wanted my attention? Why? I don’t pay attention to anyone.”
First of all, thank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for sending me a free digital copy of this book.
Okay, I had so much fun reading this. Heart, our main character is so funny, dramatic, extra, and bossy. I wish I was like her when I was in middle school. The characters are all so funny, the stories are great, there are good messages in them, and the drawings are perfect.
I needed a light reading and this one was the perfect one. Everyone can read it, kids, teens, and adults, and everyone will have a good time.
Maybe sometimes I was a bit lost with the timeline and with the order of the pages, but maybe it’s from my side, and even it’s not a big problem.
So yeah, it’s fun, and a great time, and a drama queen for the main character!

Merci à Babelio et Hachette Romans de m’avoir permis de lire ce livre dans le cas d’une masse critique privilégiée, et que dire… On a frôlé le coup de cœur. Un livre beau et touchant avec de bons personnages. Un livre qui est différent de ce que j’ai déjà pu lire. Un livre avec une belle histoire d’amour, et sur un amour qui transcende les lois de l’univers.
J’ai aimé les personnages, l’histoire, le mystère, les plot-twists, le found-family, les relations entre les personnages et les émotions procurées par ce livre. L’histoire m’a attrapé au début, et n’a pas voulu me lâcher. J’ai lu jusqu’à ce que mes yeux brûlent et que j’en pleure parce que je ne voulais pas le lâcher.
Le style d’écriture de l’autrice est parfait pour l’histoire, il est facile et rapide à lire. Bien qu’il y ait des passages un peu brouillons où l’autrice passe d’une chose à l’autre, je trouve que ça colle au livre. Mais je sais que ce n’est pas pour tout le monde, et cela m’a aussi perdu une ou deux fois.
C’est un livre très centré sur les personnages, il n’y a pas de grosses actions, les chapitres sont un peu longs, et les relations sont le point central et sont réalistes. Mais cela permet de bien les explorer, et de voir comment chaque personnage est différent en fonction de la situation et du moment de l’année. À certains moments, je me suis dit « mais Hana, tu devrais peut-être t’occuper d’Alex... » Et puis en fait, je ne pense pas que j’aurais mieux fait. Elle gère à sa manière, et puis ce n’est pas une situation facile, personne ne peut aider une personne qui ne veut pas se faire aider…
Bref, un beau livre, de beaux personnages, de belles émotions… J’ai beaucoup aimé !

A horny prince who has too much ego? A short magician done with his shit? An elf who has a dark and secret past? A non-binary magic healer using ‘e/’ey/’em? That’s what you get with Real Hero Shit. Prince Eugene wants to prove he’s not a devil, so he like we say in French “tape l’incruste” in a quest to find missing people, and let’s just say, the crew will be so tired of him, but they need him too.
Thank you NetGalley and Iron Circus Comics for sending me an e-arc of this book. I loved it, I want to say everyone is queer so that’s it. But I will elaborate. A main character of color, a plus-sized main character, a polyamorous main character… Oh, and that’s totally normal.
This fantasy graphic novel is just so funny, the drawings are wonderful and the expressions are so expressive. The characters are everything, funny, cute, clumsy, flawed… Also, Eugene has a planner to organize when he’s going to get laid with someone…
The plot isn’t bad, even if it’s a character-driven story. Oh, and It’s between fade to black and spicy if you know what I mean…
Anyway, read it. You’re going to love it… Also, I hope there’ll be a second volume. Because clearly we need more answers, and I want to read another adventure with those characters
