Princess Ever After (The Rosewood Chronicles)

Product Information

This is the third graphic novel I read from this author, and I am loving her work more and more as I become more familiar with it. I find it truly unique, both for the art style (I have a soft spot for her mythical creatures 💙) and for the wholesomeness of the characters and stories. In them, no one is left behind: no sexuality, body-type, ethnicity, disability etc is left unrepresented. And in such a sweet, natural way! Nothing is ever forced and the interactions are oh so positive and inspiring! I wish we could all live in a world so beautiful and uplifting like the one she portrays 💜

For another thing, and this was Claude's largest faux pas, he was entirely reliant... on hormonal teenagers. This felt like the most shallow and uncreative way anyone could have ever tried to talk about these topics. This wasn't even a discussion. The author just plopped these things into the story without actually doing anything with them. They're mentioned and then these problems just get fixed almost instantly. I could even see how this could be interpreted as offensive, as if the author is just brushing aside these issues and showing how "easily" they can be fixed. This book feels akin to when someone tells a depressed person to "just be happy" or an anxious person to "just stop worrying". It's not that easy, but apparently in Princess Princess it is. Hm. Sadie is not here for fat-shaming, and seeing her freed from her abusive sister is the most rewarding feeling.

O'Neil's work often includes LGBT+ characters and positive messages; they consider inclusiveness to be important, and that media "should reflect the diversity of the world around us." To this end they portray different identities in their stories. [4] [10] The Tea Dragon Society was included in the American Library Association's Rainbow Book List for 2018. [11] Princess Princess Ever After was also on the Rainbow Book List in 2017, making its top ten, [12] and was awarded Autostraddle's Favourite Graphic Novel/Book in 2014. [13] Autostraddle writer Mey said that Princess Princess Ever After "has characters of different races and body types. It has two princesses who are their own heroes and don’t need to change who they are to save themselves and the day. It has a really cute queer couple. And all of this is in an all-ages comic." O'Neill has said that "with consciousness of a new generation I would like to try to make books that inspire kindness, self-acceptance and social responsibility." [6] O'Neill's world-building is for crap. I have so many unanswered questions. I also have problems with the characters.

It's almost exactly one year ago since my heart got crushed, after the emotional rollercoaster that was Book 4 - Princess at Heart. I'd been dreading reading Princess Ever After, afraid that it would be just as heart-wrenching as that one. Thankfully, things are different, here. a b "Comics | Strangely Katie". 6 August 2013.
