The Legend of Brightblade
The Legend of Brightblade | Ethan M. Aldridge
2 posts | 2 read
A young prince must learn to be his own kind of hero in this stand-alone graphic novel from the acclaimed creator of the Estranged duology. Perfect for fans of the Amulet series and The Witch Boy. Young Prince Alto dreams of being a hero like his mother, the Lady Brightblade. Her well-known legend was woven into stories by the magical bard who fought by her side. The kingdom may be at peace now, but Alto believes that the world still needs heroes. He has been learning the bard's magic, and has grown restless with royal life. Determined to have an adventure of his own, Alto runs away from the palace. On his journey, he finds himself making new friends and encountering new and exciting magic. But when he discovers that there are dangers threatening the kingdom, Alto realizes that he might not be able to handle them alone--and making his mark as a hero is harder than the stories made it seem.

The illustrations are fantastic. The story doesn‘t have much of a lead up but just jumps into it. The story is fast paced. The characters are fun but have no depth. The villain‘s ties to the original heroes are never divulged.

Being the hero of a story is easy, being a hero in real life is something altogether different. Prince Alto wants to be a bard, his mother wants him to prepare to rule the kingdom some day. In frustration, Alto runs away and along the way makes new friends, discovers new magic, encounters all sorts of danger, and learns what it takes to be a hero. A fun MG graphic novel.
