Not at all what I was expecting but I really enjoyed it。 It was quite funny but I would have liked more of the longer stories rather than just the one page comics。 I didn't realise at first that I already knew of these and really liked them。 Not at all what I was expecting but I really enjoyed it。 It was quite funny but I would have liked more of the longer stories rather than just the one page comics。 I didn't realise at first that I already knew of these and really liked them。 。。。more

Seemingly light and just fun, this adorable graphic novel also tackles deep topics in a funny manner。 Very witty, engaging illustrations and many important lessons make this a must read for all lovers of graphic novels or not, but especially if you love sarcasm。

I'm genuinely asking my library to buy a copy of this book on Monday。 I loved it。 The characters were adorable and illustrated so beautifully。 I loved the short comical, and often creepy, stories and the tiny little treasure hunt at the end was so nice to finish on。I love Bucket boy and stone girl and think I may have a weird crush on the plague doctor。 In any case this book can be read by both kids and adults and there isn't anything graphic or offputting。Excellent graphic novel。 I'm genuinely asking my library to buy a copy of this book on Monday。 I loved it。 The characters were adorable and illustrated so beautifully。 I loved the short comical, and often creepy, stories and the tiny little treasure hunt at the end was so nice to finish on。I love Bucket boy and stone girl and think I may have a weird crush on the plague doctor。 In any case this book can be read by both kids and adults and there isn't anything graphic or offputting。Excellent graphic novel。 。。。more

This is so cute!!! I saw a comic strip on Instagram (ft。 the Doc) and that made me get a copy of the book! The colour palette is so soft and very autumn-y, the characters are so adorable, and I also love the cute yet dark word plays and twists here! Oughhhh I love the doc, bucket boy, potato sam and dauphinie (i google translated their strip, and it's both so cute and funny), and the log guy!Big thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC This is so cute!!!

This is such a fun comic! The pictures and characters are unique and colorful。 I enjoyed the figurative language and word play that the characters used to create humorous moments。 The author was creative using literal meanings of usually figurative ones to create unsuspecting moments for the reader, while also providing deeper themes and lessons。 I believe any age will appreciate Twistwood Tales whimsical stories and characters and find it hard to put down!

When I tell you I loved each and every character in this graphic novel, I mean it with my whole chest。 Not to mention, if you're a lover of Over the Garden Wall, you're going to enjoy this arts tyle so much。 When I first saw the cover, it instantly made me think of Over the Garden Wall and I knew I had to read this。 Just like the Over the Garden Wall series, this book has many characters you'll come to enjoy, fall in love with, feel their struggles and hardships, but also tackle topics of mental health in a unique way。 Even some of the bullies become likeable as they change and find healthy, creative outlets。 It was such an interesting take on some familiar fairytales and just some interesting characters in general。 I think some of my favorites have to be Little Red and Mister Wolf, and of course I have to mention the wholesome Bucket Boy。 There's too many lovely characters, but I loved them all dearly and their journeys, their stories。Overall, I truly loved this graphic novel with everything in my whole chest。 I don't want to say too much, but know that there's humor, some sad times, and there's many good moments that will warm your heart。 I think this is probably one of my favorite graphic novels I've read so far for 2023。 Again, the art style makes me think of Over the Garden Wall and if you enjoyed that, I think you'll have a wonderful time reading this graphic novel。 To all of those out there who like reading graphic novels that surround mental health, I definitely recommend giving this graphic novel a chance!The quotes above were taken from an ARC and are subject to change upon publication。Blog|Instagram|YouTube|Ko-fi|Throne 。。。more

I will start with the positives: I did love the autumnal vibes, sarcasm, and puns。 It may be nearly spring, but I am always in the mood for a fall read! However, I just cannot see myself ever going back to reread this one。 It was enjoyable and funny enough, but it did not leave me wanting more。 I almost wish that there were longer panels to get more from the characters or that there were not so many different characters。 It was nice to have some of them pop back up later on, but it felt a bit ja I will start with the positives: I did love the autumnal vibes, sarcasm, and puns。 It may be nearly spring, but I am always in the mood for a fall read!

This book is actually a collection of short comics about the various characters that live in the Twistwood。 They are all short "stories" on their own but also connect somehow in the background/general lore - which I thought was not only a great idea but also executed well。They were sometimes adorable, sometimes disturbing and sometimes a delicious combination of both。 There were corny jokes, weird jokes and jokes that I did not see coming - but they all made me laugh out loud! In the end, a great mix of humour and heart 💚Also, the characters were so interesting that even though we never get any in-depth exploration to their pasts specifically, you get really invested in them。 Well, to be fair, a lot of them are the usual folktale characters we all are familiar with - but they had their little twists (see what I did there 😉) All in all, this is a great collection of comics for those who enjoy folktales and fairytales but are also looking for a fresh take at them。 The illustrations are fantastic as well。 *Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the eARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Twistwood Tales shares the wonders of the scary and dark woods, from thieving rubber duckies to a doctor who likes to amputate。 Their stories are sometimes whimsical and frightening, but everyone comes together for a good, hearty meal。 Autumn colors of faded oranges and rusted reds meet hilarious and sometimes comedic short stories of a lonely scarecrow to a lantern who needs a break。 There's definitely beauty in the eye of the beholder in this comic book。 I had a lot of fun with this graphic no Twistwood Tales shares the wonders of the scary and dark woods, from thieving rubber duckies to a doctor who likes to amputate。 Their stories are sometimes whimsical and frightening, but everyone comes together for a good, hearty meal。 Autumn colors of faded oranges and rusted reds meet hilarious and sometimes comedic short stories of a lonely scarecrow to a lantern who needs a break。 There's definitely beauty in the eye of the beholder in this comic book。 I had a lot of fun with this graphic novel and its light-hearted antics。 The art style is gorgeous and perfect for the Fall months。 With different pages for different stories, Twistwood Tales hooked me right in。 I loved bucket boy and his leaky eyes to loghead and his worrisome nature。 Simple lessons and morales throughout, a quick and funny read。 。。。more

What a fun ride with this cute illustrated book。 I had no expectations whatsoever going into this since it was obvious that it was a kids' book, but oh boy did I laugh, gasp and had a fun time。 Beyond that, I think it is a must-read for your kids who are into reading。 This one has beautiful art pieces leaning towards vintage-ish colours and above all great life lessons in a double-meaning kinda way。 It might be a little hard for a little kid to understand some puns and the deeper meaning of some What a fun ride with this cute illustrated book。 I had no expectations whatsoever going into this since it was obvious that it was a kids' book, but oh boy did I laugh, gasp and had a fun time。 Beyond that, I think it is a must-read for your kids who are into reading。 This one has beautiful art pieces leaning towards vintage-ish colours and above all great life lessons in a double-meaning kinda way。 It might be a little hard for a little kid to understand some puns and the deeper meaning of some words, but the meaningful experiences and lessons that it delivers are absolutely valuable in early childhood。 It's like "a good friend who gives you great advise in book form。" However, I am not the target audience for this book hence the 4 starts。 Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this one。 。。。more

Twistwood Tales is a collection of short comic like stories。 There are tons of silly play on words in the stories to make someone laugh。 The stories are cute and well drawn。 The characters are very creative and wordplays on their own in some cases。

A sweet, autumnal comic strip with reocurring characters set in some enchanted ol' woods。 Most of the tiny tales are contained within the 4-panel strips with a few stretching across more pages ending with one longer story。 Overall the wholesome punny tone worked well with the spookier elements, deffo would recommend to younger readers or any adults wanting a cute read。 Thanks to NetGalley for the arc!

Twistwood Tales is one of the most delightful, charming, cozy, and funny comics I've ever read。 It's a blend of humor, fantasy, fairy tales, and critter adventure that anyone of any age will love。 Most of the comics are single-page jokes, but there are also some that are several pages long and even some that continue on throughout the book。 Characters recur and mingle。 I haven't enjoyed a comic this much in a long time。 Twistwood Tales is one of the most delightful, charming, cozy, and funny comics I've ever read。 It's a blend of humor, fantasy, fairy tales, and critter adventure that anyone of any age will love。 Most of the comics are single-page jokes, but there are also some that are several pages long and even some that continue on throughout the book。 Characters recur and mingle。 I haven't enjoyed a comic this much in a long time。 。。。more

I doubt I'll see a bigger surprise all year than the rash of five star reviews for this – I thought it was tripe。 Unattractive, and while it succeeds in spinning four-panel funnies into a world of fairytale and oddball characters, with at least initially an emphasis on punning interpretations of common sayings (throwing the baby out with the bathwater, a balanced diet etc), I didn't laugh once, and ditched it way before the end。 I doubt I'll see a bigger surprise all year than the rash of five star reviews for this – I thought it was tripe。 Unattractive, and while it succeeds in spinning four-panel funnies into a world of fairytale and oddball characters, with at least initially an emphasis on punning interpretations of common sayings (throwing the baby out with the bathwater, a balanced diet etc), I didn't laugh once, and ditched it way before the end。 。。。more
