The One Hundred Nights of Hero (Early Earth)
I would give this six stars if I could. I fully expected to love The One Hundred Nights of Hero before I even began, as I absolutely adored The Encyclopedia of Early Earth, and have seen nothing but four- and five-star ratings. Greenberg gives equal prominence to her words and artwork; her illustrations and turns of phrase are nothing short of stunning, and work so well with one another. The use of colour is perfect, and has been used to great effect. It draws the eye without overwhelming, or
This book is an absolute delight. It had everything I could have wanted: a compelling story, wonderful characters, and a sense of bittersweet hope throughout.This book is a celebration of women storytelling, and the ways in which other people (mostly men...) try to stifle these stories and the women who tell them.The art is gorgeous and visually interesting--I loved just staring at the pages. I want MORE. So much more. I especially adored the ending of this book... It's everything I could have
3.5/5 stars
One Hundred Nights of Hero is a story about stories, and a story about storytelling, and a story about power - the power we yield, and the power we are deprived of. I don't know if I can fully review this. This book is one that you simply have to experience for yourself. All I can say is that this book is deeply, deeply beautiful. It is a story of love and loss and with a deep, deep power. It's probably enough to say the ending made me cry. Please add this.Blog | Goodreads | Twitter | Youtube
THIS IS LIKE MY NEW FAVORITE THING.Central relationship between two complex women? Calling gross dudes out? Interesting worldbuilding? Both whimsical and dark? Feminism? Pretty happy ending? Cool mix of original stories and retellings? HECK YEAH.I especially love the retelling of the 12 Dancing Princesses.

4.5 starsLoved it. There was a little bit of everything: fantasy, humour, drama, feminism, fairy tales and romance. There wasn't any part that wasn't engrossing or funny or interesting. The stand outs for me was the stories within stories format, the humorous dialogue, and the illustrations. The only things that were a let down was that the ending seemed a little rushed, and the scrawly font that was used wasn't easy to read.I would give this six stars if I could.
