"It's super cute, super queer, and feminist as all get out." -- BookRiot

When the heroic princess Amira rescues the kind-hearted princess Sadie from her tower prison, neither expects to find a true friend in the bargain. Yet as they adventure across the kingdom, they discover that they bring out the very best in the other person. They'll need to join forces and use all the know-how, kindness, and bravery they have in order to defeat their greatest foe yet: a jealous sorceress, who wants to get rid of Sadie once and for all. Join Sadie and Amira, two very different princesses with very different strengths, on their journey to figure out what "happily ever after" really means-and how they can find it with each other.

Recenzii

AUTOSTRADDLE -- I'm so glad that there is a story likethis that exists. The princesses don't fit into the stereotype of the damsel indistress who wants desperately to be rescued by a prince. It has characters ofdifferent races and body types. It has two princesses who are their own heroesand don't need to change who they are to save themselves and the day. It has areally cute queer couple. And all of this is in an all-ages comic.


“Princess Princess Ever After isn't just funnyand charming, it's a timely story, and like any good fairy tale shows a worldwhere happy endings are always possible, no matter who you are.” -JeffreyBrown, author of Jedi Academy and Lucy & AndyNeanderthal


BOOKLIST -- Princess Sadie is tired ofprinces trying to rescue her from her tower prison, but this new rescuer isdifferent-she's a princess! Together, Sadie and Amira forge a strong friendshipthat soon turns to love as they struggle to overcome their pasts and recoverSadie's lost kingdom. O'Neill's delightful fairy tale will appeal to romancelovers, fantasy/adventure fans, and readers looking for LGBT-positive storiesfor young readers. In addition to the sweet romance, there is sword-fighting,magic, and a simply adorable dragon. There's also a touch of kid-appropriatelanguage (Amira is fond of the word butthead), which is all part of thesilliness that keeps the story from ever getting too dark. O'Neill's warm,friendly drawings add to the fun of this body-positive story that also featuresa main character of color. Appropriately for a fairy tale, O'Neill wraps thingsup with a wedding that promises happily-ever-after, sealed with a kiss. Givethis to young romance readers, and watch them smile.



LAMBDA LITERARY -- Princess PrincessEver After is a warm-hearted graphic novel centered on the adventures of twostrong-willed princesses. Playful in tone, this colorfully illustrated story wasoriginally published as an online comic, but was later picked up by Oni Pressfor hardcover release. The story begins when Princess Amira rescues anotherPrincess, Princess Sadie, from an archetypal tower. The two use some creativeproblem solving skills to make their way past the typical fantasy novelobstacles of ogres and evil sisters. Through the arc of the story, bothcharacters learn to recognize their self-worth, their different strengths, andto appreciate each other. The book feels as though it aims to reach youngreaders, giving them a cute story with happy young lesbians; yet some of thelanguage and storytelling feels as though this is the kind of book that willland best with teenagers and older readers. The book does not shy away fromaddressing what is usually considered mature themes; the narrative directlytakes on issues such as sexism and fatphobia. Sadie describes herself as"big-boned" and her sister includes "fat" in many of her tirades against her.Amira's parents expect her to marry a man when really she wants to goadventuring. These are stories which teenagers can especially relate too as theybegin to explore their place in the world. Although, let's be honest, everyonecan relate to the idea of failing parental expectations. I especially loved howthe book spotlights Sophie's kindness and compassion as a strength. The graphicnovel also smartly highlights Amira's fierceness and independence. KatieO'Neills' joyful and cute illustrations give the whole book a sense of fun. Theending provides an adorable cap to the story. (I won't give away any spoilers,but I doubt anyone would be surprised how the story ends.) This is a book with alot of genuine heart; it is an adorable book whose fable-like story is perfectfor any princess or prince in your life.

KIRKUS -- Someday your princess willcome-and she'll be rocking a mohawk-mullet, wearing a jaunty tunic complete withepaulets and cravat, and riding a disdainful pink unicorn.Trapped in a tower,"big-boned" Princess Sadie, a white girl with long blonde hair, is tired offending off unsolicited rescue attempts by princes. But when dapper,dark-skinned Princess Amira and her unicorn arrive, Sadie overcomes the innerfears and self-doubts that had imprisoned her psyche as thoroughly as the towerhad her body. The two embark on adventures that include coming to the aid of anembarrassed prince, sweet-talking a sadly misunderstood ogre, and confrontingSadie's wicked older sister. The princesses' affection for each other deepenswith every challenge-and every round of snappy banter-and when wedding bellsring, they're for a couple who truly know and have freely chosen one another.O'Neill delivers an alternative fairy tale that challenges conventions withevery twist of the plot but doesn't veer into heavy-handed preachiness thatpulls readers out of the story. The bright illustrations, clear layout, andeasy-to-read type make this an inviting read. Combine a cuddly purple dragon,much sharing of cookies, abundant humor, and two distinct and appealingheroines, and you have a royal winner. (Graphic fantasy.8-13)
