Suitor Armor, Volume 1 by Purpah

4.0

I read Suitor Armor way back when it was first being published on WebToon. It's amazing to see that it's come so far it's getting print editions! The story is fantastic, whilst pulling from classical fairy tale story elements. The over-arching plot line of Lucia hiding her true identity, that she is a fairy, a people who are enemies of the kingdom, is so good. This first novel is evenly passed, but it is on the slower side. If I remember correctly, this volume only has episodes 1 to 17, which isn't even a 1/4 of the way into the entire story. They also ended the volume in a slightly awkward spot, it's not one of the natural cliffhangers, so it feels strangely abrupt. The art style I absolutely adore. It's what drew me to Suitor Armor when it was first being published online! After reading this volume, I'm totally going to reread the entire webcomic from the start to the most recent chapter!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!
