Summary

CSI meets Harry Potter in this graphic novel from Ben Aaronovitch - writer of the bestselling Rivers of London supernatural police procedural crime novel series， Andrew Cartmel author of The Vinyl Detective and Celeste Bronfman。

Illustrations from a mysterious book of fairy tales drawn in the late 1800s are coming to life in the 21st Century and causing havoc。 The illustrations were originally painted by a Victorian artist called Jeter Day who disappeared one night in an enchanted forest when he was spirited away by tree nymphs never to be seen again…

Now， with the enchantment accidentally broken by Olympia and Chelsea， daughters of the river goddess Mama Thames， Jeter， twisted by his time spent with the nymphs， has returned to our world bitter and resentful。 It is a world he neither recognises nor likes。 All he wants is his life returned to him and woe betide any man who stands in his way。

With Peter and Nightingale busy on another case， it falls to sisters Olympia and Chelsea with the help of the Foxes to stop Jeter and save the day。

Mark Ames ，

Another fun installment。

Blind Mapmaker ，

3。25 Not the most riveting story， even though some of the characters are quirky。 I have a real disconnect to how some of the characters are drawn - especially Abigail looks like a 25-year-old。

Clare Jackson-Bramwell ，

A short read with more magical mayhem but a sad outcome。 Beware fairytales

Lucy Jane ，

Once again I enjoyed this instalment in the world of Peter Grant but it didn’t quite captivate me the way other graphic novels have。 Still I enjoyed it and liked the way the main protagonists were so off to the side in this story。

Chelsea and Olympia story of misadventure。 The story of Phoebe's family， her grandparents， Jeter & Rose， and how the effects of magic interact with Chelsea's and Olympia's actions and cause some major consequences。 Chelsea and Olympia story of misadventure。 The story of Phoebe's family， her grandparents， Jeter & Rose， and how the effects of magic interact with Chelsea's and Olympia's actions and cause some major consequences。 。。。more

While I'm not heavily invested in the companion graphic novels to Aaronovitch's series of print novels， they are canon and I was hard up for a fix！ The attraction here is that events happen after the last novel。 This episode features Olympia & Chelsea Brook， daughters of Mother Thames， and as entitled as they come。 Not that being literal goddesses is going to help them when they trip over Fae magic with potentially lethal consequences。 While the girls， and the situation are somewhat absurd， the While I'm not heavily invested in the companion graphic novels to Aaronovitch's series of print novels， they are canon and I was hard up for a fix！ The attraction here is that events happen after the last novel。 This episode features Olympia & Chelsea Brook， daughters of Mother Thames， and as entitled as they come。 Not that being literal goddesses is going to help them when they trip over Fae magic with potentially lethal consequences。 While the girls， and the situation are somewhat absurd， the root of the problem， like most of Aaronovitch's story lines， is not， and the results have their own sadness。 Given the option my rating would be more like 3。5。 。。。more

The obligatory confession to start – this is the first Rivers of London book I've ever looked at。 It clearly isn't a perfect place to pick everything needed up。 But as a complete newbie， this still isn't bad。 Yes， it does come across as a naff foreign language adaptation translated rather weakly into English – the narration telling us a woozy selection of portentous sentences， too many of which were rather evident from the visuals anyway。 But it still remains of interest， as a blend of Constanti The obligatory confession to start – this is the first Rivers of London book I've ever looked at。 It clearly isn't a perfect place to pick everything needed up。 But as a complete newbie， this still isn't bad。 Yes， it does come across as a naff foreign language adaptation translated rather weakly into English – the narration telling us a woozy selection of portentous sentences， too many of which were rather evident from the visuals anyway。 But it still remains of interest， as a blend of Constantine and Fables DNA， together with whatever else the world here has to offer。 A certainly not off-putting three and a half stars。 。。。more

The art is different and that threw me for a while， and there is a sad lack of Peter and Bev （Olympia and Chelsea are fine but not my most favorite）， but still: entertaining hijinks in a world I love。

Adventurous and funny。 The illustrations were good and the formatting was easy to read。 Looking forward to reading more in the series。

Here is the latest in the Rivers of London graphic novel series - which I have to say have been thoroughly enjoying。 I think what makes it even more fun is that it is linked to the novels- in fact they share the same time line and sequence although they are just as suited to being standalone This book without spoilers focuses on the lesser developed characters - going so far as intentionally sidelining the main protagonists。 Don't get me wrong they are there and the same pace and action you woul Here is the latest in the Rivers of London graphic novel series - which I have to say have been thoroughly enjoying。 I think what makes it even more fun is that it is linked to the novels- in fact they share the same time line and sequence although they are just as suited to being standalone This book without spoilers focuses on the lesser developed characters - going so far as intentionally sidelining the main protagonists。 Don't get me wrong they are there and the same pace and action you would expect too - rather after so many books （both formats） you have a huge cast to draw from and I think its more fun at times focusing elsewhere。 True the story is shorter both in page count and development but its still great fun and I always wonder if one format is used to push the story along in the other - so the question is what will we be greeted with in the next instalment。 。。。more

I always love the world of Rivers of London。 Centering the story outside of the police force never works as well for me。and there wasn't even enough Abigail to make up for it。 I always love the world of Rivers of London。 Centering the story outside of the police force never works as well for me。and there wasn't even enough Abigail to make up for it。 。。。more

The tenth book in the graphic novel series and I'm still enjoying them just as much as when I picked up the first book。 Of course it helped that I was already a major fan of the main novel series。 Peter Grant and Nightingale are busy on a different case， but have no fear because Olympia and Chelsea are here！ Daughters of the river goddess Mama Thames， they accidentally stumble in the middle of a situation involving a cursed fairy tale book and a man thrown out of time who's looking for revenge。 The tenth book in the graphic novel series and I'm still enjoying them just as much as when I picked up the first book。 Of course it helped that I was already a major fan of the main novel series。 Peter Grant and Nightingale are busy on a different case， but have no fear because Olympia and Chelsea are here！ Daughters of the river goddess Mama Thames， they accidentally stumble in the middle of a situation involving a cursed fairy tale book and a man thrown out of time who's looking for revenge。 Plot-wise this instalment is a little thin， but I didn't really mind that。 I think of the graphic novels more like little bite-sized portions that have to help tide me over until the next novella or full-length novel in the main series gets published。 That said， the artwork is gorgeous as always。 And， because this instalment doesn't heavily feature Peter and Nightingale， it might be a nice introduction to the Rivers of London world for anyone unsure about starting a series spanning already more than twenty novels， novellas and graphic novels。 （I received a copy from the publisher via NetGalley。 All thoughts and opinions are my own。） 。。。more

Olympia and Chelsea Brooks feature in this graphic novel， as fairy tales start to come alive in London。 As they investigate they discover a link with the disappearance of Victorian artist Jeter Day。 Can they save the day？3。5 stars is a true rating。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Disappointed。 It’s nice to see the characters again， but I didn’t really care for the art and I’ve read too many fairy tales for this to be a compelling or even interesting story。 I mean， if this is all coming from a book of fairy stories written by a girl after her father disappears， why aren’t they original in any way？ Why do we never really see the dryads he’s pining for？ Why dryads， anyway？ It’s just wasn’t up to standard。

A nicely illustrated story plot that I am sure will continue with its series。 The characters have both the pizzazz and spunk to solve their problem。 Definitely worth picking up。 Thank you NetGalley and Titan Books for giving me the opportunity to read this！

Horror and fantasy readers should be no stranger to Ben Aaronovitch’s Rivers of London series。 What has been called an “urban fantasy police procedural，” Aaronovitch created a best-selling world based around a magical division within London’s metropolitan police that has created somewhat of a stir。 Dozens of books later， Aaronovitch seems in no sign of stopping， and his newest edition to this series is Deadly Ever After， a dark fantasy set within Aaronovitch’s world。tThe book centers around Jete Horror and fantasy readers should be no stranger to Ben Aaronovitch’s Rivers of London series。 What has been called an “urban fantasy police procedural，” Aaronovitch created a best-selling world based around a magical division within London’s metropolitan police that has created somewhat of a stir。 Dozens of books later， Aaronovitch seems in no sign of stopping， and his newest edition to this series is Deadly Ever After， a dark fantasy set within Aaronovitch’s world。tThe book centers around Jeter Day， a Victorian painter and illustrator who created magical illustrations that often got him in trouble。 There are mysterious circumstances revolving around Jeter’s death， unsolved to this very day。 When daughters of the river goddess Mama Thames， Chelsea and Olympia， break open the spell capturing Jeter Day and release him， he insists upon receiving a fairy tale happy ending for himself and his heirs， at any cost。 Using the magic and symbols of fairy tales， Jeter Day leaves a trail of destruction， leaving Chelsea and Olympia to solve this mystery and keep London safe。 tRivers of London: Deadly Ever After is a fun addition to what is already a clever take on urban fantasy。 The graphic novel takes the classic horrors of Grimm fairy tales and modernizes them into a series of iconic crimes in a way that is clever and intriguing。 The mystery aspect of this graphic novel， as well as the parallel stories between Victorian Jeter and his modern day ghost， will be sure to engage readers， even if they have no previous knowledge of this world。 The story is dark and compelling， and fans of dark fantasy， especially fairy tale horror， and mysteries will surely enjoy this graphic novel。 。。。more

An interesting twist on fairy tales which includes a family of witches， a ghost and some funny （and some disturbing） twists on fairy tales。 I enjoyed the art， ad especially liked the protagonists being strong black women， as so few are seen in fantasy stories。
