Rapunzel’s Revenge was easily my girlie’s favorite of the 5 graphic novels she read as possible genre report subjects. Picture the tale of Rapunzel as a western (with the heroine wielding a very impressive lasso of you-know-what). Throw in a sidekick from another fairy tale, a few monsters, and a whole lot of action, and you’ve got a story my daughter adored. My hubby really liked it as well, while I, well…
Here’s the thing–it was good. I can’t actually come up with anything I didn’t like about it. It’s just that I don’t love the format of a graphic novel, and while the western setting worked PERFECTLY, that’s not so much my thing either. I’m going to have to go with an honest “it’s not the book, it’s me,” for this one. I can totally recommend it–it’s worth your time–because my mind knows it was excellent. (With an impressively strong female lead to boot.) I just–I wasn’t feeling it. But I know I should have been.
Maybe I’ll have more insight when I read the sequel. Have you read it? What did you think?
