If you've not seen the She-Ra Netflix show this will be a little inaccessible (so go watch it, it's genuinely great), but this graphic novel would have been a perfect early Season 2 episode.

It's absolutely spot-on to where the characters are at that point in their lives and their interpersonal relationships - yes, including the tense love/hate/frenemy triangle between Adora, Catra and Scorpia. Catra and Scorpia especially are given some space to have some moments that ring true and tug at the heartstrings.

Once the first few pages of info-dump are done it's fun, it's funny, it's touching, and while it slots in perfectly with the show the final few pages still manage to give Adora a deft bit of character development that wasn't ever quite addressed in the show so explicitly, but doesn't contradict anything either.

The art style is very close to the cartoon - my only complaints are the lettering is hard to read and the speech balloons sometimes have two people's words but only one pointer. Minor niggles!
