Castle Waiting vol. 1

Castle Waiting vol. 1 by Linda Medley, 457 pages

So whatever happened to Sleeping Beauty's castle after Prince Charming kissed her and whisked her away? According to Linda Medley, it became a safe haven for all manner of fairy tale-esque characters who are trying to escape those who seek to harm them (even if it's just their own demons). Medley's art is beautiful, clean, and detailed, and her stories within stories are both incredibly original (an order of bearded nuns? Sure, why not!) and familiar. I love Medley's feminist spin on fairy tales, and I can't wait to read the next one in this series.
