Comments: Its 1835. A Lieutenant and his Commander stand ready. The Commander sends out her solder faeries. These are tooth faeries. They find themselves in battle with green skinned faeries. Their Commanders face off against each other Skyborne Faery against Groundling Faery.
The Commander Vi a Highborn Fae meets her equal in battle with the Earth Tribe's Commander.
Years later the faeries are still out and about. We see them but next to nothing of humans. It is as if the faery are the only ones about even though they are not.
The art shows you that magic is in the air.
Vi is now the Queen's Inquisitor she is like a investigator working to find out about an attack on faeries. She is an emotionless one. A Lieutenant Betula helps her, she is a green skinned beauty. The effect of her present is a visual delight.
The story is slow with not a lot happening. Most of the faery appear as just ordinary beings that blend in with the surroundings.
It is easy to tell this is a world in which magic does exist. The faery and others prove that. There are dangers in this land.

Comments: The colors on the faerie are amazing, the use of greens make her a visual delight. You are also treated to a lovely green butt shot of this green faerie plus several more. She is drawn in a fight with a Goblin. It is a well drawn battle.
Vi is illustrated as a tough Null mortal faerie. Betula is drawn as a beautiful Groundling Faerie and the different green colors used on her stand out so much. She is eye catching.
Vi and Betula are faerie investigators. They are looking into an attack. Vi leads and Betula follows. The characters are well thought out but the story moves slowly. Even when there is fighting it seems slow moving.
Vi comes across as a tough faerie and Betula is almost as tough to. These two are ready for danger and it does come at them. Will they be able to stand together and conquer it?
These is a mystery here and these two faerie detectives are on the case.

Comments: Vi and Betula do both put up a fight against a group of Groundlings. Vi is one tough mortal faerie.
Now Vi is the Queen's Inquisitor and she has a human man to hunt down. Tracking down faerie dust helps her follow up on this. What she finds is horrifying. When humans are involved anything is possible and any atrocity can happen.
There are some lovely scenic backgrounds in this issue.
The issue needs to involve you more in the characters. Yes there is drama and suspense as regards how this human has being acting.
Vi is going it alone and she is ready to sacrifice it all to protect the faeries.
Seeing the two worlds of faerie and human interacting does start to lead to dangerous situations especially for Vi. Vi may not be a regular faerie anymore but in so many ways she is much better.

Comments: Yet again Ionantha aka Vi's tale of her losing her connection to the Fey magic is retold. She has survived and been a plus to the faerie.
Vi now faces danger as she enter's the human's lands. They are giants compared to her.
One man has learned to harness Fey magic and this makes him very dangerous. Vi finds herself in close quarters with the human. She is in peril. She is being hunted in the house of the human.
Vi finds that magic is not all this human welds. He is willing to go all out to get what he wants. He has some knowledge of magic which is a dangerous thing.
The art style is a relaxed easy going style that does fit for the style of story telling.
Vi is one tough faerie and has faced hardships beyond any other faerie. She still faces them everyday. Her love for her race comes through and it is what drives her to push on and do whatever it takes to protect them. She is a fighter.

Comments: The faery Lily looks amazing as she flies. These faeries are illustrated how a faery should be if they were real. The recap is nicely done and gets you up to speed. The human Bill is drawn as a common looking man. The art should be used to show in his expressions the evil within him.
Bill Carp has Vi and here he recounts how he came to be where he is now. Vi is scared yet she does maintain her dignity and she is courageous. This Bill is one sadistic man. What he does to the faery Calla is unthinkable.
The art is well done throughout the book and portrays everyone nicely all four characters.
Vi is the star of this comic. She is no longer a faery as other faeries are. The magic is no longer within her yet she somehow does seem magical.
This series is starting to drag on it needs more excitement. Vi is a hardened warrior and we need to see more of that come out.

Comments: Vi may be tied up but she has not given up. She goes after the evil wizard Bill. Vi and Calla are two faeries that can fight.
Vi and Calla do bond even though they were enemies. They bond for all of faery kind and join together in a desperate act to save the faery and each other.
The is beautifully done and does show off the faeries as they were meant to be.
The story moves along slowly and the ending is a bit anti climatic.
The relationship forms between Vi and Calla is formed out of necessity yet it does still create a powerful bond.
Overall this is a nice little adventure with some thrills along the way. Vi is a wonderful character and done in a way that will make you pity her and cheer for her.
