Princeless<\/a>: Vol 1: Save Yourself<\/a><\/em> (2012) Jeremy Whitley and Mia Goodwin <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>OMG.
<\/p>\n

This. Is. Awesome.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I’ve had it for awhile, but hadn’t gotten around to reading it, because reading comics now requires me to find a pair of reading glasses. O.o<\/p>\n

I should not have waited. Princeless is a delight and a marvel and I LOVE IT.<\/p>\n

Adrienne Ashe is the next to youngest princess in her family, and when she comes of age, like her older sisters she is locked in a tower guarded by a dragon, waiting for a prince to come and rescue her.
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She is not impressed by this, and decides things would be MUCH better if she rescued herself.<\/p>\n

Since she’s made friends with the dragon guarding her tower, she collects some of the spare armor lying around and heads off to rescue her sisters.<\/p>\n

This is simply wonderful. <\/p>\n

Adrienne rescues herself (with, she later discovers, the secret help of her twin brother) and manages to make friends with the daughter of a blacksmith in a marvelous scene that completely mocks all the typical woman warrior stereotypes and tropes.<\/p>\n

Plus, there was a marvelous bit about her getting her hair brushed that I adored, but couldn’t find a cap of online.<\/p>\n

I am definitely getting this for all the small people in my life once they reach 9 or so.
