Darkly She Goes
Darkly She Goes | Hubert
1 post | 1 read
Once upon a time there was a fallen knight, who believed that saving a princess would allow him to atone for his crimes. Once upon a time there was a dark princess, who believed that it was up to her to atone for the crimes of her parents... Banished for a fault that forever taints his reputation, Arzhur wanders from tavern to field of battle in search of the next contract which will fill his purse. One night, three mysterious old women offer him to regain honor and fortune if he frees the daughter of a neighboring king, held captive in the ruins of an abandoned castle. But Islen is not the damsel in distress that he expected to save... Magnified by the virtuoso art of Vincent Mallié, under Hubert's pen, the weight of family legacy takes the form of a stirring fairytale about facing inner demons. Darkly She Goes is an ode to redemption that pits free will against fate, brought to life by two masters of the fantasy genre.

Beautiful artwork, interesting story, complex characters…but I don‘t know how I feel about it yet. The blurb about this not being a straightforward damsel-in-distress story is really just the first 20 pages or so; a lot more happens after that. Definitely dark, definitely adult. Must think more on it before reviewing.
