"This booze-soaked second volume of RAT QUEENS reveals a growing menace within the very walls of Palisade. And while Dee may have run from her past, the bloated, blood-feasting sky god N'rygoth never lets his children stray too far."

My Rating: 5/5

I really enjoyed this instalment in the series. I love a great second volume of graphic novels, on most occasions, I find that's when you are invited more into the plot points and learn more about your main characters. This was no exceptions. I loved hearing more about the character's past, while still intrigued by an RPG style adventure. The art is absolutely beautiful as well! Overall very enjoyable and I look forward to reading the next volume.

Thanks for reading,

Review: Rat Queens: Sass & Sorcery by Kurtis J. Wiebe

 Title: Sass & Sorcery

Artist(s): Roc Upchurch

Series/Standalone: Rat Queens Collected Volumes (Volume #1)

Genre: Adult, Fantasy, Graphic Novel

Pages: 128

Publisher: Image Comics

Year Published: 2014

Format: Paperback Copy (Borrowed Via Friend)

"Who are the Rat Queens?

They're a pack of booze-guzzling, death-dealing battle maidens-for-hire and they're in the business of killing all the god's creatures for profit. Meet Hannah, the Rockability Elven Mage, Violet the Hipster Dwarven Fighter, Dee the Athiest Human Cleric and Betty the Hippy Smidge Thief. 

This modern spin on an old school genre is a violent, monster-killing epic that is like Buffy meets Tank Girl in a Lord of the Rings world on crack!"

My Rating:4.5/5

I can usually tell if I'm going to enjoy the sequel by the first instalment of a graphic novel series and this was no exception. The story was hilarious, filled with badass women, comedy, role-playing style /fantasy tropes (in the best way) and intrigue. I think that the world was decently fleshed out and I'm certainly curious about the character's lives (current and past). I hope to continue these as soon as possible.

Thanks for reading,
