review:
'Red Sonja: The Falcon Throne' by Marguerite Bennett with art by Aneke and Marguerite Sauvage tells a pretty good tale of the red-headed warrior who isn't afraid of a fight.

When the king of Hyrkania falls ill, he offers his throne to Sonja. She has a thought about what kind of ruler she would be and runs the other way. She decides to support whatever new king is put on the throne and to protect the kingdom, but the new king brings peace and prosperity and Red Sonja becomes bored. Then things change. Drama and songs seem to be saying things and the new king may not be as good as everyone thinks.

I really liked this story. There was a good mix of drama and humor. I really liked the art as well. I was a little less crazy about the new king's motives and methods, but it introduced some interesting plot elements. I'd like to read more of these stories by this team.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Dynamite Entertainment, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
