You know it’s appealing when two women fight, everyone does (Well, as long as the women are attractive and we always envision they will be). In Volume 4 of Grimm Fairy Tales Sela, the main character who goes around with her book of fairy tales and tries to help those in need, and Belinda have a massive chick fight. Belinda is a fiery genie set on destruction and having fun and she almost seems to be taking orders from something whether she knows it or not.
The battle takes place in a barren ice land where Sela goes through a mirror in order to stop Belinda from causing anymore harm. After Sela saved a little fire starting boy she has the courage and knowledge that she is meant to do what is right. Belinda with her book of fairy tales and Sela with hers battle with fairy tale monsters. They summon the creatures such as The Beast, The Big Bad Wolf and The Three Bears to battle each other and eventually to go after which ever conjurer that is unprotected. The creatures come forward just as I envisioned a real Magic of the Gathering battle would be like. Two wizards or in this case beautiful women use some sort of means such as cards or a fairy tale book to summon forth monsters or creatures to battle between them until the other conjurer is left defenseless and eventually looses.
Volume four of The Grimm Fair Tales features Rapunzel, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, The Snow Queen and finally Snow White and Red Rose parts 1 and 2. Throughout the stores from this volume and the last you learn a lot about poor Sela’s past and the fact that she has lived longer then imaginable. She has lost love and almost given up hope for the human race which she is supposed to fight so hard to save. Belinda has pushed doubts into her mind and poor Sela is faced with a very difficult decision.
Of particular interest if you don’t read anything from Volume 3 at least pick up The Juniper Tree to get an in depth look at the interesting character, Sela. The next volume looks promising with the former stories featuring Sela as the main character now Belinda is getting a shot in the lime light starting with the magical story of The Little Mermaid!
Stay tuned to fairy tale updates as I collect more from Zenescope’s Grimm Fairy Tales.
