So here we come to volume 3 of the endlessly absorbing The Girl From the Other Side and it’s time to strap your seatbelts, folks, because the world building atmosphere gives way to action here and we are off like a rocket. I was already hooked but, whew, now I’m really on board for this wild ride of fairy tale fear and bittersweet companionship. Things take a quick turn and Shiva is suddenly back with her Auntie, torn from Teacher and we are about to get a closer look at the world inside the walls�

So turns out it’s shit in there. If you thought beasts in the shadowy woods were bad, wait until you find out what the humans are like. As we all learned in Scooby Doo, the real monster behind the mask is just some shitty rich dude and that holds true here as well, but he’s allegedly got holy words beamed down to him on his side. Sure, he too wants to break the curse and let me tell you, the curse is a’comin!

But, people being people, and governments being governments, it doesn’t turn out so great for anyone not inside the ruling class. For even in a contest with brick and mortar, wealth is still the greater wall. And those outside that are pawns ripe for sacrifice�

bummer, bruh

Well I am fully invested in this series and I cannot wait to read more. Which I’m going to do right now. Pick this series up, it slaps.

MAYA QUARTZ Ah, this series was so simple and elegant, yet so poignant! Happy to see someone else enjoying it.

That is the perfect description of it! I'm really loving it. So heartbreaking but like...so imaginative and fun at the same time. I can't get enough I actually JUST finished vol 4 a few seconds ago haha
Glad you loved these! I saw there is a miniseries adaptation--have you seen it by chance? I'm curious how it is.


MAYA QUARTZ Yes, I have! The art style was well adapted. The texturing gives a "fairy tale come to life" quality that is quite unique and somehow nostalgic.
I think that print tells the story a little better, but I am quite biased as it's my preferred medium. If you really love the series, the addition of sound might really add extra dimension to the story for you!

Oh amazing a fairy tale come to life sounds perfect. I’ll have to check that out after I finish. But fair, yea I prefer print as well. This seems like one that would adapt well at least. I’m really curious where it is all going
