100 Nights of Hero is more about the setting then the characters. It focuses on an extremely patriarchal world, where women can't even know how to write. In it, Cherry and Hero two secret lesbians must try and outsmart a villainous suitor. To do this Hero tells a large and unending story for one hundred nights, all about the world and the many injustices against women that have happened.

I liked this book for the most part. The writing is good, and successfully juggles the two stories of Cherry and Hero as well as the internal stories themselves. The art is very stylized and interesting. The characters are a little exaggerated, but it works for the story. My main problem with the book is how heavy-handed the message is. It can be a bit off-putting to have it so forcefully pushed into your face. I understand why it's there, but it distracted me from the stories of the characters.

TL;DR: 7/10
