Book Review: SubZero vol 1


Clove is the last remaining heir of her Cerulean Dragon clan, fighting in a seemingly endless 300-year-war against the vast Crimson Empire. With no end to the war in sight, Clove agrees to leave her sheltered homeland in favor of a political marriage with the heir to the enemy Crimson Dragon clan, Prince Kyro.

Raised on the battlefields and feared by his rivals, the cutthroat prince is first to notice that Clove is hiding a dangerous secret she’s been working tirelessly to protect. As tensions rise between these unlikely allies, the fragile peace brokered by their marriage is threatened by those who wish to continue the war. Now fighting in the world of her enemies and fighting a surprising attraction to Kyro, Clove discovers that achieving peace is far more dangerous than she could have ever imagined.

SubZero volume 1 by Junepurrr (Antonia Crupa) will be published September 24, 2024. Oni Press provided an early galley for review.

This collection of the beginning of this Webtoon is absolutely goregeous. The art, to me, is a mix of East and West, of anime and Disney, with such vibrant colors that pull the reader into this world a mysticism and mystery.

The story has plenty of relationship drama, palace intrigue and political positioning. While I am unsure where the plot will end up, the ride is an interesting one. I am looking forward to future volumes in the series. Highly recommended for anyone who like romantic fantasy.
