Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft–Orphan of Agony Isle by Casey Gilly
4.0
Thank you to NetGalley and IDW Publishing for the ARC of this graphic novel!
"Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft--Orphan of Agony Isle" was an entertaining and spooky frankenstein-esque story. The frame story follows a young girl called Miranda covered in bandages who awakens in the lab of a Doctor Viktra Mordenheim with no memories of her past. Dreams/memories come to her as she begins to strain against the Doctor's insistence that she cannot leave the castle. I think juvenile and older readers who enjoy gothic horror and "Dungeons and Dragons" will enjoy these tales. Readers also don't necessarily need to know very much about "Dungeons and Dragons" to understand the stories. I was a bit disappointed with the open ending, so I hope another installment will be published eventually. It was a fun creepy little read.
