While not the best graphic novel I’ve read, this was still tons of fun. The artwork was beyond gorgeous. It reminded me of something, but I couldn’t figure out what! It made me really want to check out other works by this illustrator.
The story itself was a little typical, a little cliche, but it was fast-paced and engaging. I was swept up pretty quickly. Towards the end it dragged, and the who-dunnit was very obvious, however it was still fun and I wasn’t left unsatisfied.
I liked Emsy and Ash a lot. Ben was a little too much, I just couldn’t connect to him. I loved Emsy and Joss at first. They were adorable together, but when it started getting strained between them their conversations just felt tedious and annoying. I feel like the scenes with her California friends after she’d left didn’t add anything to the story and they just ended up either boring or annoying me.
Also—who the hell says Cali? I’m pretty sure no one who has ever actually lived in “Cali” calls it that.
That got a little off topic. Anywayyyyy…
This was a fun, quick read. Perfect for a casual graphic novel reader and anyone looking for something witchy.
