Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This medieval fantasy sees 4 women team up for adventures and debauchery. The group consists of Hannah; the elven mage, Dee; a cult goddess who has lost her faith, Violet; a dwarven warrior and Betty; a smidgen thief who loves the party lifestyle. The group, along with others, are given missions by towns but often end up destroying the town they're supposed to help with their hard partying ways, something that doesn't sit well with the locals.

Someone sets out to rid the town of Palisade of all the groups, sending them out on bogus missions, only to have an assassin waiting for them. The group have to figure out who is behind it and stop them before they destroy not only them but Palisade as well.

I really loved this comic, first of all the group it has some amazing characters in it, the rat queens is made up of four equally badass woman. They are diverse in looks, background and personalities, whilst most of them had back stories fleshed out a little there's still plenty to be explored especially Betty. The dialogue is snappy and extremely funny at times and I laughed out loud on several occasions whilst reading this, Betty is an absolute hoot and her dialogue was, for me, the funniest. I loved the art, it was nicely detailed and the panels pop with colour.

It's easy to tell that this is more geared towards female comic readers, whilst I love Vampirella and Sonja, it irks me that they have to appear with next to nothing on. The RQ are all covered up for battle, not wearing a few inches of fabric to appease and engage male readers, it's refreshing and goes to show that females in comics can be (almost) fully clothed and still be able to sell a story.

If you liked foul mouthed, hard partying characters and a story that is soaked with sex and violence, this might be right up your alley.

Highly recommended.
