I'M CRYING THIS WAS TOO CUTE
This short webcomic (you can read it here) is about a princess, Sadie, who is locked in a tower and is rescued by another princess, Amira, riding a pink unicorn, and it's just as queer as it sounds.
Amira is not here for heteronormativity and she's learning what it means to be a hero. The adventures she has with Sadie and then later with both Sadie and prince Vladric show her that she still has a few things to learn.
Sadie is not here for fat-shaming, and seeing her fre ...more

"I'll protect you, Sadie! I have a sword, a unicorn, and kick-butt hair!" pg. 13
I see what O'Neill is trying to do here, but this book had some problems.
This is children's literature that features lesbians. I've been seeing more of this lately, which I think is good. Mainly this tiny genre consists of stuff like, "What if a princess fell in love with another princess instead of a prince?"
This graphic novel is a bit like Sailor Moon and a lot like Revolutionary Girl Utena.

This book was so sweet! Because it was middle grade the plot was somewhat overly simplistic and quick, but I still loved it and wish I'd read it as a kid because it would have inspired so much confidence in me as a young, fat girl. Love love loved all the representation, even though it was very abridged-feeling.

An amazing new children's graphic novel especially suited for mighty girls. A princess of color rescues another princess. Love. It. Strong female protagonists and LGBTQA themes. This book is not to be missed.

It was ABSOLUTELY adorable !
This teeny tiny book talks about a LOT of important stuff :
* gender equality when Prince Vladric says how much pressure is put on his shoulders because he's a Prince and not a Princess, how people expect things from him ;
* family expectations when Princess Amira explains she had to flee from her kingdom because her parents wanted her to marry a Prince for the sole purpose of connecting her family to another royal family ;
* pressure from society to be perfect when Pri ...more

That was absolutely adorable. I love Katie O'Neill's stories and artwork so much, and this one is no exception. I love that she's creating these beautiful stories full of diverse characters (queer girls, QPOC characters, fat rep, and more) that readers of any age can fall in love with, and I have to say I especially loved Captain Amira and little Oliver. ♥

I stumbled upon this by chance and finished the whole thing in a few minutes.
It was too fluffy, fluffier than I can take!! Not my type of story unfortunately :(
I think younger readers will enjoy it more.

Sadie has been imprisoned in a high tower and she can't even use her hair to escape like Rapunzel. Moreover, every single prince who tried to rescue her failed miserably! Luckily, though, Amira is no prince...
This beautiful, heart-warming story is a tale of two princesses who fall in love, accepting each other's faults like no one else in their world was able to do before. Sadie, imprisoned in a tower not with bars, but by the very force of her fear and insecurities; Amira, born in a royal famil ...more

“how does a hero decide who’s worth saving?”
an adorable little comic about two fairy tale princesses who break the mold together.
this experience was a bit like one of those pretty, sugar-spun sculptures. it’s extremely cutesy, looks pretty, and it makes you happy just looking at it -- but then you pop it in your mouth and (1) it’s over in a second and (2) it doesn’t actually have much of a taste.
the set-up of the story is as follows: princess sadie is locked in a tower by an evil sor ...more
This was the best thing ever. It's told in the same style as a children's fairytale, the art is ridiculously beautiful, love transcends gender expectations...what's more to love?

This was super sweet, soft and cute - a balm for the soul.
A f/f retelling of Rapunzel with two beautiful and wonderful princesses in their own right.

This little comic is really cute and refreshing. It's also quite funny because it makes fun of some of the classic fairytale stereotypes. It has a lesbian couple at its centre and it's just so good to see how the two main characters define the gender roles and the rules their society thinks they should abide by.
I highly recommend it! ...more

As you might see...from the meme...I am not the biggest fan of Disney Prince
The reason why I hated them was because most of them were creepy
Needless to say...I stayed away from Disney after that
This is book that Disney should adapt instead
We have my favourite pairing: Gryffindor x Hufflepuff
The Brave hearted Princess Amira(beautiful name btw) comes to the rescue of the kind hearted Princess Sadie
I won't say much...cause spoilers😊
But Do read this book

I can't believe I gave this 2 stars when I first read it! It's not just the cutest thing ever, but deals with serious topics, too.
I feel like I'll give this more stars with every reread until it becomes an all-time favourite.

I don't know, I see the adorableness but I also feel like this comic is underdeveloped and rushed? It feels a bit like it's still the concept for a graphic novel rather than a fleshed out narrative and rounded characters. I did love the colour palette and the illustrations though, as well as the queer representation appropriate for kids as young as 6-7 and the fat girl and the black girl.

I freakin’ love the gays
This story was so cute 😍
Pros: Gay! Like, legit gay! Also, awesome hair.
Cons: Reads and looks like a discount Princeless. The art looked like it needed another round of polishing, and the storytelling was choppy, like transitional pages were cut to save space.

This is the best kind of fairy tale!
reading wholesome adorable lgbtq+ graphic novels is all i want in life tbh
I love that we're filling in the gaps.
There are a few cool queer graphic novels for slightly older than this, there are a few words-only books with similar themes, and this is just a step down in age from some of those books.
It's slight, and stays mostly on the surface, and tells a simple story in an accessible way. Which is what it sets out to do. And it does that in a way I haven't seen before for this age group.
It's not everything for everybody. And that's ok.
So I'm a fan. :) ...more

This one is so silly that I liked it.
One princess is out there to save another princess held inside a high tower built. Clichè with a twist, eh?
I like the lgbt representation. Totally loved the viewpoint of being a princess not waiting to be saved and actually making things happen by oneself.
And yes, also the view that all princes are not that valiant and out there to save a princess in trouble. They are totally comfortable being themselves and have a life of their own.

Can we just say how much we loved Amira's kick-butt hair? And Sadie's big heart? The princess stars of Princess, Princess Ever After are all we could ever hope for in the world of princesses: they're strong and loyal and they work hard and do things for themselves. This little comic is perfect for middle grade readers, but adults will love it too. We should know: it traveled all across this library from librarian to librarian, each of us begging to be the next to read it. We all give this girl p

We're hoping for continued adventures of the queens soon. Oh, and Oliver the dragon and Celeste the unicorn? More of them, too, please!
Cute and sweet, but very short and lacking story and world building.
