I Hate Fairyland Volume 1: Madly Ever After by Skottie Young

-
Once upon a time, little 8 year old Gertrude wished to go to a magical world. Her wish was granted and she was taken to Fairyland where she meets lots of creatures, including Queen Cloudia. For Gertrude to get home, she would need to take a days quest to find the key to open the door back to her world. But in her case, finding the key didn't come so easily..
 
This graphic novel was simply amazing, truly now a personal favourite. It takes a wonderful, magical place like Fairyland and turns sweet, innocent little Gertrude into an insane psychopath. Gertrude is having a bit of a difficult time location the key, with the help of her guide, Larry, and tends to lose her temper along the way, usually resulting in Fairyland creature casualties. And honestly, Queen Cloudia is getting sick of Gertrude's attitude. It has a wonderfully interesting story plot and had some really fun twists in there, leading to an amazingly face palm ending. I have to hope this isn't the end of Gertrude's adventure. I need more of the horrible little green haired girl with the brazen mouth and blood thirsty appetite.
 
When coming across this it instantly reminded me of the Imagination Land episodes from South Park.
 
If you're looking for something that's horrific funny in a fairy tale world, I highly recommend this.

Volume 2: Fluff My Life 
 
My Rating: 5/5 Stars

This is a spoiler review for We Can Be Mended: An Allegiant Epilogue by Veronica Roth. This was a pre-order bonus gift when you submitted your receipt for Carve the Mark to the publishers. If you have not read the Divergent series, please note this review will contain spoilers from the last book in the trilogy, Allegiant .

( goodreads )     I have not done a review on any books from the Divergent series (even though I plan to eventually). So before I start this review I want to make two things clear: First, Divergent is my favorite series, I love it to no end. I even have my own version of Tris bird tattoo, one bird (3 total) for each member of my family that I got when I moved ou...

Read this review at your own risk, you have been warned.

Wonderland: The Queen of Hearts vs. Red Queen

One of my biggest pet peeves regarding Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is the common confusion with The Queen of Hearts and Red Queen. Between the 1951 Disney version as well as the Disney live action movies, they confuse many characteristics and as much as I love all the movies it is a little annoying.   Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is my favorite book and have read it several times over the years. However I've actually once read Through the Looking Glass twice, and my memory on it isn't as good as the first story. I may have to read up on them both again soon!   I decided to make a post and fully identify each character to clarify the confusion.     THE QUEEN OF HEARTS - Appears in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Catchphrase "Off with her Head" - Enraged easily - Plays croquet - Has 10 children (a full suit) - Married to the King of Hearts - Hates white roses - She is a great baker     RED QUEEN - Appea...
