Rat Queens, Vol. 1: Sass and Sorcery

I loved this volume about an all-female group of sword-wielding, spell conjuring, bar brawling, trouble-making adventurers. It never felt like it was trying too hard to pander to the reader or be inclusive or edgy. It’s just plain fun to read, especially as a former RPG nerd. Unfortunately, one of the creators of Rat Queens was embroiled in a domestic abuse scandal which affected the run of the series. Aaaand, it makes buying these personally problematic. But hey, at least there’s the library right? ( )

D&D adventures take the stage -- good fun with some kill-everything and take the treasure mercs who are cutting up their town and marked for assassination. Pleasing archetypes, really excellent faces, very adventure, very bloody. ( )

Bland fantasy world. Forced exposition. Weird pacing. Felt like a generic dnd campaign turned into a book ( )
