Ladycastle<\/em> (2017) Delilah S. Dawson, Ashley A. Woods and Becca Farrow<\/p>\n

\"Ladycastle\"Apparently there is just no pleasing me today.<\/p>\n

I was in a bit of a reading slump so I decided to turn to comics. But I have so many comics I need to read I didn’t pick up what I really wanted, which was a reread of Check, Please!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

The Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich<\/a><\/em> worked for me, but Goldie Vance<\/a><\/em> didn’t, and neither did this.<\/p>\n

\"Ladycastle\"<\/p>\n

To be clear, there was nothing wrong with it. <\/p>\n

I liked the characters!<\/p>\n

\"Ladycastle\"<\/p>\n

I liked the plot!<\/p>\n

I even liked the art!<\/p>\n

\"Ladycastle\"<\/p>\n

But for some reason it just didn’t draw me in.<\/p>\n

So bah humbug to me.<\/p>\n
