Once upon a time . . . happily ever after turned out differently than expected. In this new, feminist, queer fairy-tale collection, you’ll find the princesses, mermaids, knights, barmaids, children, and wise old women who have been forced to sit on the sidelines in classic stories taking center stage. A gorgeous all-new collection in graphic novel format from a Stonewall Honor-winning author and artist.What if the giant who abducted you was actually thoughtful and kind? What if you didn’t want to marry your handsome, popular, but cold-inside suitor? What if your one true love has all the responsibilities that come with running a kingdom?Award-winning author Melanie Gillman’s phenomenal colored-pencil art creates another "ever after" for the characters who are most worthy of it.

"This book was not at all what I expected but it was so so good! The fact the art was done with PENCIL CRAYON. Insane. So cute and a good read:)"

"I love the art style!! Absolutely obsessed with feminist fairytales. It’s so refreshing to read fairytales that don’t support a monarchy or the patriarchy! Must read if you love fantasy and classic fairytales but don’t like the messages they send. "

"Thank you Netgalley and TBR and Beyond for this arc in exchange for an honest review. <br/><br/>I would give "Other Ever Afters" by Melanie Gillman is a collection of retellings of popular fairy tales. <br/><br/>I would give "Other Ever Afters" by Melanie Gillman a 3-star review because, 1; the illustrations were beautiful and helped bring them together for me 2; I love the idea of this book but 3; for me I just couldn't get into this book."
