review:
'The Kingdom Vol. 1: Anne' by Benoît Feroumont is the first graphic novel in a series about the various characters that live in a fictional kingdom. I wasn't crazy about this entry in the series.

Anne works in the castle. She is afraid of spiders, so she hides in the king's bed. The queen isn't happy about this, so Anne must leave the castle. The king sets her up with an old crumbling building that she can turn into a tavern. She has encounters with blacksmiths, soldiers, neighbors and even members of the royal family. There is one mishap after another.

Anne is a good character and I did feel sympathy for this character who finds herself in the crossfires from different parties. I just didn't find it very funny. The drawing style kind of looks like animation, but the story with it's double entendre humor would seem not aimed at children. It's a title that has been translated and comes from another country. I suspect that there are some cultural mismatches that just missed for me.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
