A arte é linda e a história é cheia de representatividade, a maioria dos personagens são asiáticos e também tem personagens lgtbqia+. ⁣

Vamos encontrar personagens com diferentes personalidades e até pássaros falantes. A protagonista vai lidar com o luto, bullying, aceitação, entre outras coisas. ⁣

É possível ler gratuitamente no site da autora, mas é claro que na edição física tem alguns extras. Recomendo muito para quem quer algo mágico, rápido e gostoso de ler.⁣

This was a solid start to a graphic novel series. The art was decent, the colour palette definitely being the best bit with lots of muted greens and purples. The magic system was cool, linking hair length to magic strength with a glimpse into some finer details. I'm hoping we'll see more development of this in future instalments. Overall, it was the political intrigue that really hooked me. I was left with questions, but in a good way!
Is what happened to the royal family the truth? How are Jung and Nyneve's mum connected? I'm also interested to see where the rebellion goes, and to understand how the current political and magic system is damaging the spirit world.


Nyneve was a really interesting MC and her arc posed a lot of questions like, what do we owe the world if it has hurt us so much? What do we owe our fellow citizens? How can you love and trust others when historically that's led to lots of hurt? Nyneve doesn't have any answers to these questions so we are stumbling along beside her as the reader, trying to figure things out. The other characters were great too. They all felt individual and dynamic. I love how fleshed out Nyneve's mum was, and the potential of Prill's character. 

The gripe I had with this story was that it felt very much like a set-up book for the rest of the series, as beyond the first half of the book it lacked good structure.
