Pros: it's completely sweet, features strong heroines and generally good people, has very little darkness at all, very little violence, very few really bad guys, and everything works out fairly in the end. What really interests me is the question of whether I should consider this for my elementary collection. I would have liked to learn more about Lady Jain's life before Castle Waiting - who was this ogre? How did they meet? - and think that would have made more sense than launching into a whole other story, although I loved the characters and situations in the Solicitine storyline. in order to have an acceptably book-length graphic novel? I liked both storylines, but neither had a real buildup-climax-resolution, which makes sense as it was originally published in short issues. The second half of the story holds no real connection to the first half - it's clearly two distinct storylines stuck back-to-back. The second half of the story follows the adventures of an order of bearded nuns who form an unconventional convent of progressively-minded rescuers. She finds it and essentially lives happily ever after with her baby, who takes after his (literally) ogreish father rather than the Lady's husband. In the first half of the book, a pregnant Lady goes on a quest for the fabled "Castle Waiting," a safe haven for all who seek it. Aww! This was a sweet re-imagining of fairy tale settings and tropes with a decidedly feminist slant, in which everything ends happily but without the darkness or chance of real fairy tales.
