So, I got this book completely on a whim. I was looking through our Previews catalogue at work and just happen to glance at the listing for this; then I did what I always do. I fell in love with the cover art. I know, I know. Bad Shannon! But this time it didn't fail me. Bold Riley is a female fairly tale hero that spends her days defeating monsters, saving innocent villagers, and making all the ladies swoon.

What a lovely book. I totally just saw it in previews and decided to take the plunge - am I glad I did. It's just fantastic to find such a well-written protagonist who manages to be neither white nor male nor straight.
The whole thing has a very folk stories feel to it, with a focus on an Indian-style setting, and the art varies from chapter to chapter. The tales vary from comedic to touching, with one actually making me cry - not something comics usually manage but something I've been getting fr...more

The Legend of Bold Riley is a wonderful graphic novel by Leia Weathington and others. It is the story of a young princess going off to find her fortune and rescuing damsels in distress along the way.
I really enjoyed this novel. The graphics were beautiful and I fell in love with Bold Riley just a little bit myself. She is full of spunk and she isn't afraid to take on any challenge that comes her way. On top of that she is also kind and gentle when it behooves her to follow that path also. She w...more

I loved this back when it was a web comic - Bold Riley is a lesbian warrior princess from a fantasy land reminiscent of sixteenth century (or earlier) India who fights demons and rescues other women. What's not to love? Much of the art is gorgeous too. More, more!
The illustrations are more than enough to capture your attention. The stories of Bold Riley are great, she serves justice with a side of compassion. It is a whimsical type of story with creatures, quests, and love. Wonderful colors and the right amount of dialogue!This was a very lucky win for me on Goodreads!
I really like the title character of this book. I also liked the varied stories. The only thing I minded was that I didn't like all the artwork in the book.
Fun ride through the hero standards with a slightly different point of view. Nice variety in the art, solid storytelling.
re-read for potential ABP nomination.
Visually arresting and very charming.
