This book is a fun mix of fantasy and humor. I needed a break from real life right now...and this story was perfect.
I often read middle grade books and graphic novels to give my mind a nice break. I have a stressful job in human services...and adulting just gets to be a little bit much sometimes. That's when I LOVE to escape into children's literature. And, this book gave me a wonderful hour of innocent fantasy. Love it!
Henrietta was orphaned during a war. Flash forward 9 years and she suddenly learns she had an uncle, who has died. He has left her a house....but little does she know that the house encloses its own war between soldiers and bandits, magical statues, hidden treasures and even....monsters. Yep....monsters.
Haiko Hornig has created a fun, fantastical world in this first volume. Marium Pawlitza's awesome illustrations bring it all to life.
Volume 1 is awesome! I can't wait to read the continuation of this story! Full stars from me...I loved this story from beginning to end.
