![]() When the volume begins, it's been some time since Rika became free of Keenan and the ice. He convinced her to go grab some kind of scepter, something went wrong, and she carried the Winter Queen's chill (ice in her veins?) for.a while. The story, as I understood it, was this: At one time, Rika loved Keenan, a faerie king. How long ago was Rika the Winter Queen (or whatever)? How long has it been since she was mortal? Who's Donia? Character relationships and timelines were sometimes hard for me to follow. I had no idea who Rika or Keenan or Donia were, although apparently readers of the Wicked Lovely series would know. I don't know that I would have liked this volume any better if I had read the Wicked Lovely books, but, just in case, I'll start by saying that my review should probably be taken with a grain of salt. The manga volumes were later turned into a novel, Desert Tales – not the usual way these things are done. It turns out that it's actually a spin-off that uses characters from the Wicked Lovely world. I thought this was an adaptation of Marr's Wicked Lovely, but then I spotted the “Desert Tales: Sanctuary” portion of the title and wasn't so sure. Plus, I haven't even read any of Melissa Marr's books. That's still not a good explanation, because OEL manga adaptations of books don't generally have a good track record with me. I know it was a used copy, and I think it was really cheap. ![]() Wicked Lovely: Desert Tales: Sanctuary is a fantasy OEL manga based on Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely world and characters. ![]()
