My Review: This had a lot of adventure in it! I loved that it was a graphic novel! It really allowed the story to be depicted very well! I think that it was a very easy read and that kids my age would enjoy this one. I loved how how it felt like a fairytale. It was well paced and the artwork was great!! Especially the cover I really loved that. I am addicted to keys just like my mom. So the key on the cover really made me want to read this one. I want to read more of these soon!!
Review
Metaphrog's illustrations glow with fluorescent intensity, and the saturated imagery conveys murderous suspense.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Metaphrog offers a pastel-hewn modern take on the venerable tale that is delightfully offbeat and thrilling, with an actively heroic lead and unexpected magical menaces.
LIBRARY JOURNAL
A stunning adaptation... Every page of the work is beautiful and dreamlike, rich in atmosphere for what is tantamount to a horror story.
FOREWORD REVIEWS (Book of the Day)
Reminiscent of classic children's books.

"BLUEBEARD's beating heart lay in its unsettling glow, guiding in silhouette, patiently leading to mystery's core. Haunting for young and old alike."
-NATE POWELL, National Book Award Winner of March
"This isperfect in every way. A beautifully told tale."
-CHARLIE ADLARD, The Walking Dead
"This is wonderful."
-DENISE MINA, Conviction
"Metaphrog's books have always been charming but this one explores new territory of warmth and mystery."
-MICHEL FABER, The Crimson Petal and the White
"Set in a dreamlike world, expertly painted with colour, texture, menace and beauty, this retelling of Bluebeard is a page-turner from the start and delivers on all fronts in the very best traditions of fairytale storytelling."
-FRANK QUITELY, All-Star Superman
"A feast for the eyes and fuel for the imagination, I devoured Metaphrog's feminist fairytale take on BLUEBEARD in one sitting. It has all the ingredients of a tale well-told."
