I enjoyed this DESPITE the graphic violence.
The stories and characters are intriuging and I enjoy the art style.
If anyone knows of a series that has great art, story and characters in a fantasy setting WITHOUT so much violence please let me know

Merged review:
Monstress lays out an epic tale of warring factions, racism, classism, violence, and monsters. The art is simply gorgeous, and the storyline is intricately plotted with complex characters and heart-racing events. As I read, I got hints of Shadow of Colossus, Skyrim, Bloodborne, and Saga – though it is certainly a series that stands apart from the rest. This may fit best in the fantasy genre, yet there are very real elements of horror. Yes, there are scenes involving demons and monsters, but it’s the scenes showcasing the sick depravity and malice of people towards other races/social classes that are truly disturbing.
