Princess Ugg Vol. 1

Princess Ugg Vol. 1 (2014) Ted Naifeh and Warren Wucinich

Princess Ülga is traveling to the low-lands at her mother’s request, hoping to learn how to help her people.

What she learns isn’t quite what she was expecting.

I didn’t remember the premise, so when I started reading I wasn’t quite sure where things were going, but I was interested, so I kept reading.

Once we learned why Princess Ulga is at the academy, things became much more interesting. I also found myself liking the head mistress, who is obviously used to dealing with spoiled brats. (Mistress of deportment? Not so much.)

It’s an interesting story, and I found myself enjoying it. This story is for teens rather than kids, and the themes are more subtle than in Princeless; regardless, it was still enjoyable.
Rating: 8.5/10
