Her Majesty’s Swarm: Volume 1

Thanks to NetGalley for the copy of this manga.

5 STAR READ.

I loved this manga. As someone who has spent a LOT of time playing WoW, I have definitely wondered what it would be like to be transported into that world and “play” from the inside.

This story follows Grevillea, as she wakes up and finds herself queen of the Arachnea. A faction from the game she has spent hundreds of hours playing.

She has to learn about the world first hand, and discover if she is truly in the game, or another world, or has gone mad. I loved the concept throughout the book of the hive mind.

This book does have violence and gore. I think the way it was incorporated was integral to the story and our protagonist brings in talks of ethics with each fight.

Can't wait to read the next volumes!

Want to thank the publisher and Netgalley first for letting me read this manga. I haven't really read much war/military manga but I have read a good few of people going to their favorite books or games. So when I saw this I was really excited to request it. I wasn't disappointed. I was left wanted to read more. The only thing I had a slight problem with was the cover. It was very busy and all over the place.

Also I suggest a 16+ audience. It can be gore-ish at times.
