review:
'Scarlet Rose #1' by Patricia Lyfoung is an adventure graphic novel about a young lady who doesn't want to fit the roles that others want for her.

Maud lives in a time of beautiful dresses and swords and carriages. She idolizes a young bandit named the Fox. One day, her father is attacked and Maud loses the life she had. Her grandfather is rich, but wants Maud to be a lady and marry. Maud wants to ride horses and fight with swords. She also wants to meet the fox, so she dresses as a bandit named the Scarlet Rose in order to meet him. This leads her in to trouble.

It's a pretty good adventure story. The twists and turns are pretty easy to see coming, but I think it's a fine graphic novel for young readers. The art could be better, but it doesn't detract from a fun story.

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