Adventures of three mice, Saxon, Kenzie and Lieam patrol borders, and strive to make safeways to keep the mouse territories free from predators.
Very pretty art, basic/ok worldbuilding, the interactions between the characters, revelations and general plot reminded me of a standard fantasy tabletop RPG in a good way. You won't find anything super worth dwelling into in the writing here I think, but the art is pretty and it makes for an entertaining 40 minutes.
Beautiful art and a cool setting, but sadly boils down to a simple story of a kingdom vs rebels. The setting of small mouse warriors was really cool, but the main plot doesn't use it at all. More than half the book is just mouse vs mouse in a mouse-sized kingdom and no sense of scale.
It was a quick read and I liked it well enough to give it 3/5, but it feels like a waste of potential for what could've been a great high fantasy series.
This graphic novel series fills the Redwall-shaped hole in my heart and I can't believe I didn't know it existed until now??!!?
Beautiful little book, would not hesitate to give thais to a teenager who loves adventure stories and fantasy. Definitely getting the next volume soon.
Mice with swords dealing with the world from a mouse's point of view. What's not to like? The artwork is incredible, and the story simple but well told.
I read this because I was interested in getting the RPG, and I'm glad I did.
