Colfer's series has found success in prose, but its transition to sequential storytelling feels like little more than a series of caricatures a world full of figures that readers will recognize but barely come to know. Though full-color art with strong lines carries the story forward, inconsistent cartooning, especially in the majority-white cast's faces, leaves critical moments with little emotion. Moving from one wordy conversation to the next, the story is most enjoyable when Proctor lets loose in wordless action sequences showcasing sword-wielding Goldilocks's physical prowess. When Prince Chance Charming husband to Cinderella, sibling to Snow White and Sleeping Beauty's princes determines to conquer the Dwarf Forests "and drive out all the monsters inhabiting the land," Goldilocks struggles to rally her community of outcasts to defend their home, though Puss in Boots, the Gingerbread Man, Pinocchio, and brown-skinned Miss Muffet answer the call. On the run since childhood for vandalizing the Three Bears' home, blond Goldilocks lives in the lawless Dwarf Forests with her horse Porridge and friend Hagetta, a red-haired witch. This graphic novel spin-off of Colfer's the Land of Stories series centers Goldilocks in an unevenly built origin story. Fans will recognize familiar characters including Porridge, Jack, and Queen Red Riding Hood and a ragtag team of misfits is introduced, including Puss in Boots, Little Miss Muffet, Pinocchio, and more. She teams up with Puss in Boots, Pinocchio, Little Miss Muffet, and others to battle the royal army. New and returning fans of the Land of Stories will fall in love with the adventures of Goldilocks before she met Alex and Conner Bailey.

Monsters and criminals have found refuge in the Dwarf Forests, a land without rulers or law. But not all creatures and territories have been invited to this peaceful union. Once upon a time, the kingdoms of the fairy-tale world lived in perfect harmony under the guidance of the Happily Ever After Assembly. Discover her origin story and more in this brand new, lushly illustrated full-color graphic novel, as she takes you on adventures where she may or may not break a few laws along the way.
