Really fun concept for an anthology. I always love seeing the different art styles.

Really neat anthology. The art is consistently excellent, and in many different styles. The stories themselves can be a bit hit or miss, and some wrap up a bit too quickly (and with the same sort of "twist" at the end), but overall it's a cute collection.
This anthology is amazing! The first one was so good, and book two does not disappoint. Can't wait for the third!
Disclosure - I backed this book on Kickstarter - An amazing group of talented creators come together for an anthology with amazing art styles to tell fairy tales. The opening sets of stories just didn't feel like they were for me it wasn't until The Laughing Queen that I started to really get into the anthology. The pros inside the book were something I just passed over although I have intent to get to them I have other reading oblations so I just wanted to be done. I found the second half of th...
Proper review to come, but by the Flame, I want to dive inside most of these worlds. Jaw dropping art, I say.Holy shit balls there's a 2nd volume?!?! How did I miss this? HOW, I say??*furiously puts a copy on hold* Seriously, I'd be lost without the Toronto Public Library, I shudder to think.
A strong follow up to the first book, with some returning artists and some new ones. The same mix of graphic art stories and prose as before. As with any collection, some spoke to me more, but it was overall quite solid.Some favorites of mine (though not the only good stories by a long shot, for brevity's sake.): "Mom Knight and the Centipede" Sara GoetterNo actual dialogue, but tells a sweet story with plenty of emotion."The Magnificent Daji" Alex Singer & Diana HuaProse with some gorgeous art....
While it didn't capture me the same way the first volume did (nor did I expect it to), I really enjoyed the continuation of the Valor anthologies. I think this volume struck a great balance between returning artists and new artists, too. As before, there were some stories that I found more compelling than others. The prose stories, which were a major weak point to me in the first volume, are stronger here, although still feel a touch out of place in the context of so many more comic stories. A d...
I don't think I enjoyed this *quite* as much as the first, but omg I can't wait for the 3rd one. The prose stories don't interest me as much, but I loved SO MANY of the comic stories. And the artwork is faaaabulous.
Just like any collection (especially one written by different authors) there are some that are amazing and some that are only so-so. Three stars!
Such a great anthology. I loved it just as much as the first volume. I think the Lizard King was my favorite story.
Like most collection of stories, there were some that I really, really enjoyed and others that were just okay to me. I think what really pulled me out of the collection were the certain stories that were written in prose. As a reader, obviously I love stories written in prose and were they in a collection of other written works, I probably would have enjoyed them more. However, because they were in a collection of comics, they just felt off to me and I probably rushed through them simply because...
Most of the art is beautiful and the stories are clever/have good messaging. Still, I don't find them that engaging or memorable in the long run. My favorite, art and story both, was The Dragon Princess by AmetAlias.
So so so so very pretty!And all the rep!I think some of the girls in my life might enjoy this series now!

Well, there's still a few prose stories and I didn't get the retelling of The Light Princess that I was crossing my fingers for, but this edition holds up about as well as the original.We start off with the beautiful story of The Prince's New Clothes by Isabelle Melançon and Megan Lavey-Heaton. The prince is due to marry and has seized all the fabrics from the seamstress’s guild for his own use. His future wife is dismayed that this act would be connected to her as her first royal impression, bu...
