Fierce: The F*cked-Up Fairy Tale of a Fed-Up Princess
Fierce: The F*cked-Up Fairy Tale of a Fed-Up Princess | Geoffroy Monde
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
An irreverent, darkly funny, feminist spin on the legend of King Arthur focusing on his runaway daughter, Ysabelle. Perfect for fans of Disenchantment. King Arthur, Britain's most legendary hero, is now an old drunkard who spends his days slouched on his throne. He owes his former glory to the magic sword Excalibur, which the wizard Merlin forged for him in order to slay the hordes of demons who came to invade the kingdom of Pendragon. That incredible weapon now collects dust--and suffers from a bad case of boredom. Meanwhile, Arthur's daughter, Princess Ysabelle, is wondering how to flee the marriage her father has arranged with the vile Baron Cumber. Desperate for something different and better, Ysabelle and her father's sword join hands and set off on a quest to change their fates. But although Ysabelle is brave, she's never ventured outside before--and the real world is much harsher than life within the palace walls. In order to survive and accomplish her quest, she must rely on Excalibur, as her father did before her. But Excalibur's intentions may not be as noble as they seem . . .

Interesting concept - Arthur's daughter tries to rescue the kingdom after he loses his way.

This was a hoot of a graphic novel with feminist undertones. After the defeating a demon war, Camelot has fallen on hard times under the rulership of a drunkard King Arthur who tries to marry off his youngest daughter, Princess Ysabelle, to a disgusting, wealthy baron. Refusing her fate, Ysabelle steals the magical sword, Excalibur, and sets off on adventure to free the kingdom with her enemies in pursuit. A satire on challenging the patriarchy!
