Usually with a graphic novel you can finish the title in no time at all, but with Monstress it is worth savouring the stunningly realised characters and world in each frame. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Really really good *by K***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 October 2018* It has elements of a typical fantasy but with a myriad of twists which make it unique, interesting and downright addictive. I read this entire volume in a day.Just a general warning for anyone squeamish this is quite gory and disturbing from the get-go, with scenes of torture, self-harm and children part eaten/being eaten. Why?; well lets just say the baddies really are very bad. (It all makes sense in the context of the story, nothing unnecessary or flagrant)Impressions;1 - The deep malevolence and twistedness of the enemies (and sometimes allies) is really tangible2 - The characters are authentic; deep and chequered with mixed motivations; scars, fears, worries, biases, sometimes doubting, sometimes arrogant, sometimes hopeless - all of this makes it fascinating to read3 - The art throughout is phenomenal; beautiful drawing, colours and concepts... very new... and again, this adds to the overall feeling of the bookI'd recommend this to anyone who loves fantasy (and art). The story is good, mysterious enough to draw you in and keep you questioning, but revealing enough that you feel satisfied. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Dark beginings *by T***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 December 2019* I have been reading this series in completely the wrong order. I started with number 3, then number 2 and finally this, the first one. At some point I shall get around to the new one, 4. The series is basically a mixture of quest and Bildungsroman for a superhuman heroine. Actually she is not human at all and she may be becoming a god, it is a bit hard to tell at this stage. The art work is sexually prudish and very focused on maiming but quite, quite beautiful. It is noticeable that in this book the artwork is better executed than in the later books and the art in the later books is still intricate and charming. The huge darknesses that appear in many of the frames in later books are much less noticeable than here.The milieu in which this all happens is a bit ramlatch, a great cauldron full of ideas that have been used before but mixed anew in the hope of creating something new. The society in which the story takes place is matriarchal which is interesting but comes across more as fan service for a projected readership made up of young geek ladies rather than a serious attempt at a matriarchal society. Having said that the female characters, which is most of them, are well rounded and the ‘goodies’ at least are all believable. The ‘baddies’ however are dark, dark as night and full of menace, most of them for no particular reason. They are waaay beyond pantomime villain, have nothing of the nobility of Milton’s Satan they are just cruel and malign. I enjoyed them immensely. The other thing I enjoyed immensely was the mad multi-tailed cats which once again I suspect are a bit of fan service. I especially liked the cat interlocutor who pops up to explain various bits of back ground.Four stars, mostly for the art. ## Frequently Bought Together - Monstress Volume 1: Awakening - Monstress Volume 2: The Blood - Monstress Volume 3 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/49282438-monstress-volume-1-awakening-monstress-tp](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/49282438-monstress-volume-1-awakening-monstress-tp) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
