Really a fantastic memoir of the childhood of a fantastic writer!! I absolutely loved this, it was exactly how all autobiographies should be and was just a delight to read! some interesting facts were revealed about dahl that I never knew, and were told in a completely gripping yet readable layout.

this was the first one I have a small complaint with, as the styling of "vera" came across as too obvious to me. although I have found with the tv series that the "plot twists" can be obvious, vera's design was far too similar to elyon's for my liking as it caused more confusion than anything.

despite this the rest of the incredible action and subtle lesbianism in this one has 100% made up for it!!

i'm not leaving reviews for every single one of these comics but HOLY SHIT. THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST ISSUE SO FAR??? MERIDIAN BEING A LAND TRADITIONALLY RULED BY WOMEN?? UM WHAT IS THIS AWESOMENESS?

I cannot believe how much I have enjoyed being introduced to caleb in this issue because I HATED HIM IN THE TV ADAPTATION WITH A PASSION. but in this he like FULLY RESPECTS WOMEN?? so many emotions between him and cornelia too. :(

AND ALSO IM LOVING THE STRONG LOVE BETWEEN ELYON AND CORNELIA. oh my god if there's something I love it's when FRIENDS TELL EACH OTHER THEY LOVE EACH OTHER. Be still my heart.

I also love how cedric is a little bit more passive. like he's a little bit more scared, and phobos has a lot more power over him, which makes phobos look like the big bad and not the guy who is literally a henchman. I think I'm starting to realise things that didn't make sense about the series now.

sorry for the caps but im sold on these comics now, they're the best series I've ever read, hands down.
